This bucket of the FLOURISH St. Louis fund is reserved for community groups to implement new and existing community engagement efforts that promote maternal and infant vitality, provide social support and healing to new and expectant mothers, and/or build community among Black parents in priority zip codes where infant mortality is at its worst. Our goal is to get funds in the hands of community leaders doing grassroots, on-the-ground work to support Black moms and babies – even if you are not a registered 501c3 or have not previously received grant funding, you are encouraged to apply!
Examples of projects we might fund include, but are not limited to:
Providing baby-related supplies to families
Leading peer groups/education
Connecting families to resources
The final deadline to apply will be August 13, 2021. All applications must be submitted by 11:59 p.m. Please note that staff will only be available until 4:00 p.m. to answer any questions or resolve issues. The anticipated project start date is October 1, 2021.
