Announcing the TechSTL Foundation
Invested in Growing the Health & Diversity of the STL Innovation Pipeline
TechSTL recently partnered with the St. Louis Community Foundation to launch a Foundation and Scholarship Fund to catalyze the innovation pipeline of the Greater St. Louis. The TechSTL Foundation is currently fundraising to support innovative Small Businesses launched by traditionally undercapitalized founders, through awarding grants to regional Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs) and Revolving Loan Funds. The Foundation will also announce a series of competitive grants to support critical programs and capacity building for the 501(c)(3) organizations who drive the tech talent pipeline, digital equity, STEM education network, and tech-enabled business development efforts across the 15 county bi-state region.
