Community Impact Network

• Community Impact Network funds organisations working in the 24:1 area of North St. Louis County, with named impact areas of healthy babies and early childhood education, basic needs, the youth continuum and community investment, so fit depends on working within that area and those themes.
• A realistic request would be modest: the median grant across its recent filings is about $40,500, with half of its grants at or below that level, though the range runs from $500 up to $1,050,000 and the largest grant was about $3,700,000.
• The foundation operates by invitation only and states that it does not accept unsolicited requests, so a formal written approach out of the blue is not the route in.
• A high share of its grant dollars, 73%, went to organisations it had also funded in the previous two years' filings, suggesting it tends to keep funding organisations it already knows rather than open itself widely to new applicants.
• Given it does not accept unsolicited requests, organisations without an existing connection or invitation should not apply directly.
