IFF’s Stronger Nonprofits Initiative offers 14 months of capacity building to help People of Color-led nonprofits navigate systemic barriers to accessing capital and real estate opportunities. Ten St. Louis-area nonprofits were chosen to participate in the latest cohort, including CBN members Cornerstone Corporation, North Newstead Association, Northside Community Housing, and Rise Community Development.
Sara-Lou Brew Now Available; Crowdfunding Campaign Postponed
Due to COVID-19, Northside Community Housing has decided to postpone the launch of their Save Sara-Lou crowdfunding campaign, which will raise money to renovate and restore the historic Sara-Lou Cafe at the corner of St. Louis Avenue and North Sarah Street. In the meantime, they’ve partnered with Civil Life Brewing Company to create Sara-Lou Brew (pictured on the right). $1 from every 6-pack sold goes to NCHI’s efforts to save the Sara-Lou Cafe.
