About the Danforth Foundation
Established in 1927, the Danforth Foundation
is a private, independent foundation. Its goal is to help
revitalize the St. Louis region, making it one of the top
metropolitan areas in America. To carry out its mission,
the Foundation concentrates its efforts on economic development
with special interest in the plant and life sciences, neighborhood
redevelopment, and downtown St. Louis revitalization. Because
the foundation emphasizes excellence, it also
supports unique projects which make outstanding contributions
to the St. Louis area. In addition, special religious outreach
activities and early childhood care and education projects
are supported on occasion.
As of 1997, the Danforth Foundation exclusively
makes grants in metropolitan St. Louis.
