Two funds at the St. Louis Community Foundation are helping fellow citizens affected by the coronavirus disruptions.
They are: The Gateway Resilience Fund Created by individual donors and entities like the Downtown St. Louis Community Investment District and the Regional Arts Commission, the Gateway Resilience Fund is offering short-term financial assistance to employees and owners of bars, restaurants, shops, entertainment venues, and other small business required to close as a result of the pandemic.
In addition, artists are also eligible to apply for aid.
The COVID-19 Regional Response Fund A coalition of foundations, businesses and individual donors brought together by the St. Louis Community Foundation created the fund to assist nonprofits already providing services to populations disproportionately affected by the disruptions associated with the virus. Groups targeted for assistance include the elderly, children, and those with mental illness or suffering from food insecurity. Grants from each are guided by advisory committees unique to the mission of each fund. Visit stlgives.org/COVID19 to contribute, learn more, and apply for assistance.
