About
Founded in 1986, the Gateway Foundation seeks to enrich life and culture in the
St. Louis area by supporting efforts to acquire, create, or improve tangible and
durable art and urban design.
The focus of Gateway Foundation is to foster and support cultural and artistic activities devoted
to improving the quality of life for residents of the St. Louis Metropolitan Area. Towards this end,
we engage in three strategic realms of funding.
Funding Priorities
-
Grant making to non-profit arts organizations based in and operating throughout the St. Louis Metropolitan Area
-
Support of lighting and parks projects integral to the cultural fabric of the St. Louis Metropolitan Area
-
Sculpture loans which make pieces accessible to residents within and between the patchwork of St. Louis neighborhoods
