The Spirit of St. Louis Women's Fund (SOS) strengthens the St. Louis community through informed, focused grantmaking by educating and inspiring women to engage in significant giving. SOS has been formed to provide grants to charitable organizations operating within the St. Louis Standard Metropolitan Statistical area that provide services within the City and County of St. Louis. Organizations must be tax-exempt under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Preference will be given to organizations with operating budgets of less than $1 million. Grants are generally made for between $5,000 and $25,000.
Grants are not restricted in any fashion to issues dealing with women, but are made to organizations focusing on at least one of the following areas:
