- Community Betterment (improving neighborhoods, youth development and leadership, programs for seniors, transportation, violence prevention, etc.);
- Health and Human Services;
- Wildlife Conservation in Missouri.
Funding Information
- The average Community Grants award is $5,000. Approximately $125,000 is available annually through the Community Grants program.
