Investing in our communities for thriving neighborhoods.
We believe Creative Placemaking is at its best — and most likely to succeed — when the whole community is invested in it. That includes not just neighbors and residents, but the local businesses and corporations that have a real stake in seeing our communities thrive. When businesses show up for creative placemaking, everyone benefits: stronger neighborhoods, more vibrant public spaces, and a workforce that’s proud of where they work. There are three easy ways your business can get involved.
How would you like to support the mission?
Give Financially
Financial gifts are one of the most direct ways your business can fuel creative placemaking in St. Louis.
When you give specifically toward the work happening in Dutchtown Common, your business may qualify for Missouri Neighborhood Assistance Program (NAP) tax credits — meaning your generosity goes further for the community and for your bottom line.
It’s a meaningful way to put your company’s values into action while investing in the neighborhoods that make our region great.
Sponsor a Volunteer Day
Give your employees the chance to roll up their sleeves. Sponsoring a volunteer day lets your team invest their own time and talents directly in the community.
Whether that’s hands-on work in a public space, supporting a local arts event, or helping bring a creative placemaking project to life.
It’s a great way for teams to bond, build new skills together, and walk away proud of the impact their company is making.
Make an In-Kind Donation
Not every contribution has to be a check. In-kind donations — materials, equipment, professional services, or expertise — help stretch our budget further and often fill gaps that funding alone can’t.
Whatever your business does best, there’s likely a way to put that skill to work supporting creative placemaking in St. Louis.
