our new funding framework

Our focus areas

Our focus will be on increasing opportunity for everyone, particularly those who may experience discrimination in regard to their race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and/or physical ability. In particular, we recognize the impact of racial discrimination in our community. Many of the problems Trio continually works to address through our giving will be unsolvable until racial equity is achieved. Trio will continue to focus the vast majority of giving in the St. Louis City and immediate near counties

The new framework includes the following three strategic funding areas:

Note: Within these focuses, needs such as housing, healthcare, and childcare must also be addressed as a part of the program.
