ST. LOUIS COMMUNITY FOUNDATION 2015 CENTENNIAL REPORT 3 A TIMELESS COMMITMENT TO ST. LOUIS AS THE SECOND COMMUNITY FOUNDATION ESTABLISHED IN THE UNITED STATES, WE CONTINUE TO ADHERE TO THE VALUES THAT SHAPED US A CENTURY AGO. Today, the St. Louis Community Foundation continues to pursue the mission set forth a century ago and more: To facilitate philanthropic and community partnerships that inspire regional good. It acts as a steward of charitable funds which support the causes and organizations that reflect the variety of interests and passions of the generous St. Louisans who donated them – yesterday, today, and even tomorrow. The Foundation also serves as a community resource and provides a forum for nonprofits, funders, donors, and civic leaders to convene and address community opportunities and challenges. Through it all, as it has for 100 years, the St. Louis Community Foundation ensures that the charitable wishes and the legacies of its donors are adhered to and continue to benefit the St. Louis region – for years and decades to come. Take the story of Edward Bredell. Although he died in 1894, he continues to make contributions to St. Louis institutions, thanks to a fund he established in 1896, which is now under the charitable umbrella of the St. Louis Community Foundation. Leaving a legacy in your hometown that spans a century is not only generous … IT’S GIVING FOR GOOD. OUR ST. LOUIS COMMUNITY FOUNDATION MAKES THAT POSSIBLE. 4 1 FREDERICK H.

  • St. Louis Street Performers United Voluntary Best Practices Guidelines

    St. Louis Street Performers United Voluntary Best Practices Guidelines

    VOLUNTARY BEST PRACTICES GUIDELINES Street performers, also known as buskers, make a valuable contribution to our vibrant urban fabric. We want to encourage street performances while respecting the reasonable expectations of the greater public to enjoy peace and quiet in their homes and the ability of businesses to conduct commerce. These voluntary guidelines seek to balance the interests of performers with those of residents, visitors and businesses. A respectful environment will create more opportunities for local street performers and make the region a welcoming destination for traveling artists. Following a court challenge, the City of St. Louis repealed its overly broad street performer ordinance in October 2013. Elsewhere in the region, other municipalities have not adopted street performer ordinances. So, street performers are free to perform in any public location, although they are subject to other regulations prohibiting disturbing the peace, obstruction of public passageways, aggressive panhandling and intrusive noise. Drafted by an interested group of participating street performers in collaboration with the St. Louis Volunteer Lawyers and Accountants for the Arts (VLAA) and the American Civil Liberties Union of Missouri (ACLU), this consensus document is based on the belief that street performers are largely self- regulating. Our common sense “time, place and manner” guidelines are not intended to prohibit or hinder artistic expression, which is protected by the First Amendment. The goal is to ensure that public areas remain safe and useful for their primary purposes while asserting the rights of street performers and other artists. Street performers who want to follow these voluntary guidelines can obtain a free annual St.

    St. Louis Arts Ecology Report

    Saint Louis Arts Ecology February 8, 2019 PRESENTATION AT THE REGIONAL ARTS COMMISSION ARTS &: NEXT STEPS CONVENING FEBRUARY 8, 2019 Summary The DeVos Institute of Arts Management at the University of Maryland was commissioned by Centene Corporation to study the arts ecology of St. Louis. The goal of the study was to provide guidance to Centene about the needs of the artists and arts organizations in St. Louis. The study examined two cohorts of arts organizations, those larger organizations that receive RAC funding and smaller organizations that receive project support. In-depth interviews and data surveys were performed with 60 organizations from both cohorts. Data for arts organizations in St. Louis were also compared to data from arts organizations in six comparator cities. The interviews focused on key strategic aspects of arts management: artistic planning, marketing (both to increase ticket sales and to engage new donors), fund-raising, board engagement and staffing. 2 Major Conclusions Major conclusions of the study included: - St. Louis has a remarkably large, diverse and productive arts sector that includes a large number of organizations - The largest arts organizations are larger than their counterparts in similar size cities - St. Louis is missing a cadre of mid-sized organizations; most organizations are very large or of modest size - There is a great reliance on fundraising by the larger arts institutions 3 Major Conclusions (cont) - A small group of very generous funders is providing a large portion of philanthropy in St.

    Saint Raphael the Archangel The Guide A weekly newsletter for the school community Volume 5, Issue 11 November 3, 2016 From the Principal’s Desk Mrs. Kim Vangel Dear St. Raphael School Families, This is a very big week for St. Raphael with lots of great things going on! First, we have the annual Black & Gold Dinner Auction, the most important fundraiser of the year for St. Raphael the Archangel School. So many, many thanks go to Jaime Richards and her friends and family - she has worked tirelessly to make this the best auction ever, and I know she could not have done it without the support of all those who love her. There are too many parents, teachers, and parishioners to name who have helped prepare for the auction, and who will be working this weekend to make the event a success. Thanks to all of you! In the midst of all the auction preparation, our school community stepped up to help other students in need and we did it in typical SRA Fabulous Style! Through the efforts of Mrs. Runiewicz, Ms. Wood, Miss Amsler, Mrs. Berns, and Miss Imo, our school raised over $800 in less than a week to donate to the schools in Louisiana that have been destroyed by the flooding there. We also donated extra desks, chairs, books and cabinets to help these schools get back on their feet. This entire effort is being supported by Channel 2 and their Saturday morning show, ThreadUp STL. We welcomed their TV crew on Wednesday morning when they picked up all of the donated items and funds - what a great way to show our SRA Spirit! And finally, we are all watching carefully as the Archdiocese is making decisions about the future of some of our neighboring parish schools.

The generous gifts of many are evident in the remarkable impact of Catholic philanthropy in our community. The Foundation and its board are committed to fulfilling the vision of Archbishop Robert J. Carlson, seeking new pathways toward hope for those we serve. The professional staff at the Foundation works diligently to connect donors with their philanthropic interests. Combining expertise and dedication, they help to strengthen Catholic ministries by collaborating with Catholic leaders and development professionals, assisting individuals and families in creating a legacy for the future. In 2016, the Foundation continued to build on the core of success established in our first full year of operation. We have been blessed by the generosity of our donors and our volunteer board members, who together are helping to sustain the future of Catholic entities and causes in eastern Missouri. We are pleased to present stories of hope in our second annual Report to the Community. We trust you will find inspiration in the stories of individuals, families and organizations included in this report. Each day, more and more people are impacted by our donors’ gifts, lives are changed and our hope for the future is renewed.
