ST. LOUIS – Regional nonprofits are encountering extraordinary strain in these uncertain times. In addition to growing demand for their services and a need to take care of their staff, many face financial challenges and the new federal relief laws are complex. To help, the Clark-Fox Family Foundation attended a national e-briefing on new federal laws & stimulus resources hosted by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation on 3/30, and prepared this summary of the content.
In addition to the five resources discussed, there are additional resources available for key industries (e.g. health care, K-12 education, child care) and to individuals (e.g., expanded SNAP & MO HealthNet coverage for those directly effected by COVID-19). The Clark-Fox team is tracking these resources as well as state-level policy changes that effect many of our partners. Look for updates via social media and contact Michelle Miller with additional questions.

A partnership led by former Build-A-Bear CEO Maxine Clark and a subsidiary of Chicago-based Clayco Inc. plans a $90 million rehab that will turn the old St. Luke’s Hospital on Delmar Boulevard into apartments and collaborative office space designed for nonprofit organizations. Delmar DivINe, as its backers call it, envisions 180,000 square feet of office space in its first phase for area nonprofits and community organizations as well as 160 apartments. Ground-floor retail space will house neighborhood businesses: a bank, restaurants, maybe a gym or an early childhood center.
