Community Grants
The deadline has passed and we are currently not accepting proposals for Divided City Community Grants.
Divided City 2022 offers grants between $5,000 – $20,000 to individuals and organizations in the St. Louis metro area engaged in community work or creative practice related to urban segregation. As always, members of the St. Louis community can apply without Washington University affiliation.
Our goal is to provide direct support for proposals in the humanities, arts, and design that engage the lived realities of the divided city. We welcome proposals from community-focused organizations and individuals that explore the cultural, political, social and/or economic landscape of the divided city.

Those previously funded by the initiative are eligible to apply but preference will be given to projects not yet funded through the Divided City. Funds are for project-focused grants and cannot go toward direct-service or general operating expenses of an organization.
