Goals of Anything Grants

  • Contribute to local agencies that help create a thriving Jewish community in St. Louis.
  • Leave a lasting legacy by spreading tangible acts of goodwill throughout the St. Louis Jewish community.
  • Encourage other members of the local Jewish community to support important initiatives, projects and organizations.

Eligible Grant Applications could be for anything, including:

  • Purchasing technology
  • Building beautification/improvement
  • Minor capital improvements

Criteria for Anything Grants

  • Grants will be given to Jewish non-profit agencies, organizations or synagogues in the St. Louis community. No individuals or for-profit businesses.
  • All applicants must have a 501(c)3 tax status.
  • The request should be for 50% of your projected program budget – you must articulate how the other 50% will be raised. Grantees will be required to provide evidence of the matching funds that were raised. These must be new dollars – not from an operating budget or previously raised/committed funds.
  • Grants will range from $1,000 to $5,000 (so your project budget cannot exceed $10,000).
  • Your request should not be part of a larger campaign. We want to fund projects that can be accomplished with our contribution as half of the project budget.
  • We encourage submission of proposals for specific one-time needs. If it is for an ongoing project, a sustainability plan must be articulated.
  • Projects must be completed and follow-ups submitted by Friday, May 1, 2026 by 11:59 PM.
  • Grantees will be required to complete a progress report upon completion of the project in order to receive payment.
  • If the grant is for a capital/tangible project, including building renovation or improvements, or purchase of equipment or other tangible items:
    • A formal/official cost estimate is required to justify the requested funds.
    • Grantees will be required to demonstrate completion via photos, receipts, invoices paid, etc.

A lay advisory committee is charged with reviewing all applications and making recommendations to the Staenberg Family Foundation Board of Directors, who make the final funding decisions.
