Successful Capital Campaign
We successfully achieved – and exceeded — our fundraising goal of $4 million for the Childcare Development Center project, raising $4.2 million. Located in the heart of the city near Saint Louis University and Grand Center, the new 20,000-square-foot Child Development Center features classrooms, a playground, a garden for the children with a greenhouse, meeting space and administrative offices. This building allows us to serve 160 children in childcare and 90 children for after school and tutoring.
