Invest STL is accepting Fall Applications for the Small Dollar Action Fund (SDAF), a resource for St. Louis residents seeking to make a difference in their neighborhoods through small, impactful projects. The Fall Application opens July 17, 2025 and closes August 14, 2025. The webinar will cover what the SDAF is and how it works, who’s eligible, the application process and timeline and a Q&A with fund administrators. For questions, contact sdaf@investstl.org.

Invest STL has also launched the Northside Resilience Fund to support community-led projects that increase climate resilience and housing stability in North St. Louis. The fund is aiming to raise $4 million to provide $3,000 in direct cash assistance to up to 1,300 North St. Louis households whose homes received a red-sticker designation from the tornado damage. The fund has already secured over $2 million toward that goal! Eligible residents living north of Delmar Blvd can apply now through Invest STL’s website, with funds intended to help address immediate needs as families begin recovery, and help neighborhoods respond to ongoing challenges like extreme weather, displacement, and environmental injustice.
