Nonprofit Resources

Thank you for visiting Philanthropy Missouri's Nonprofit Resources page! To be added to our nonprofit email list, please send your contact information to info@philmo.org.

Please note Philanthropy Missouri is not a grantmaker. Our organization does not provide grants, nor do we match funders and grant seekers. However, we often partner with a range of other sector organizations, including nonprofit intermediaries, to offer skills-based programs and best practices resources to nonprofit organizations.

As Philanthropy Missouri grows into its statewide role, we welcome assistance updating this Nonprofit Resource Page to reflect current resources available across the state. If you see a missing resource, please email us details at info@philmo.org.

Philanthropy Missouri Publications & Tools of Interest
  • St. Louis Regional Collaborations Directory: The Collaborations Directory is a catalog of the cross-sector collaborative efforts that connect and serve the St. Louis region. This free tool is intended to foster knowledge-sharing and provide context as potential partners contemplate opportunities to work together. The Directory is available in two formats: a printed PDF version and an interactive online counterpart, with the added benefit of sortable data. More information about the directory can be accessed here.
  • Missouri Common Grant Application: The Missouri Common Grant Application (CGA) Version 2.0 allows grantmakers and grantseekers to work from a common set of questions and definitions that reinforce solid nonprofit practices. Grantmakers who accept the CGA will host this form on their respective websites; some grantmakers may have modified versions of the CGA. Please keep in mind that every grantmaker has different guidelines and priorities, as well as deadlines and timetables. Any funder that has agreed to accept a CGA form may request additional information at any stage in the proposal process. Learn more here.
  • Major Campaign Report (formerly Capital Campaign Report): Philanthropy Missouri produces an overview of the St. Louis market for capital and endowment campaigns. These trends are significant for nonprofits considering launching a campaign, for grantmakers who fund capital and endowment projects, and for consultants and those who work with nonprofits in helping identify needs and resources in the community. A public version, with confidential information redacted, is available for purchase.
