Regional Issues
Charitable giving has an impact on every aspect of our quality of life in the St. Louis region. In strategic and collaborative partnership with nonprofits, the public sector, the business community and other community leading organizations, grantmakers help to address our most pressing issues.
The Center supports grantmakers' efforts to address regional issues through affinity groups, topical programs, quality research and information sharing. Please contact us at info@centerforgiving.org or 314/621-6220 for more information.
