Community Donations

GUIDELINES AND PROCEDURES

St Louis CITY SC endeavors to be an exceptional Club and neighbor. We strive to represent more than sport; we are part of the fabric of St. Louis and are invested in the future of our city and region.

Only requests submitted online to the form below will be reviewed. We do not accept donation requests that are mailed, faxed, hand delivered, or e-mailed.

A brief explanation of the event, including event date, event contact details (name, e-mail, phone number), complete mailing address and the organization’s Federal Tax ID number must be provided. Incomplete requests will not be considered.

A member of the Community Relations department will contact you either by phone or e-mail to confirm receipt of your request. We ask that you not submit duplicate requests.

Organizations are limited to one request per calendar year (January – December), be located within the St. Louis and Illinois region with a 25-mile radius of Downtown St. Louis, and must fall within one of CITY’s community areas of impact:

• Youth Development (i.e., youth soccer programs, youth sports programs, education, mentoring programs, etc.)
• Community Investment (i.e., social/community services programs, leadership groups, Volunteer efforts, etc.)
• Health & Wellness (i.e., mental health, nutrition programs, food insecurity, environment and sustainability, physical fitness, etc.)
