The Bellwether Foundation invites qualified organizations to submit a Preliminary Grant Application for review. The Bellwether Foundation will consider one application per organization per grant cycle. For example, two projects from two different departments of an organization will not be considered during the same year.
The Bellwether Foundation has created a two-step application process. Once the Preliminary Grant Application is completed and submitted online, The Bellwether Foundation will review the application and make a determination as to whether they see a potential grant opportunity. You will be contacted shortly after a decision is made concerning your Preliminary Grant Application. The Bellwether Foundation will request more information in a Detailed Grant Application or send you an email declining your application for the current year.
Primary consideration for grants will be given to qualified 501(c)(3) organizations within the St. Louis community in Missouri.
Areas of current funding interest include:
- Education
- Conservation
- St. Louis Civic Institutions
The Bellwether Foundation 2021 grant cycle is currently open. Preliminary Grant Applications will be accepted through Friday, May 14, 2021 at 5:00 p.m. CST.
