SLDC’s organizational focus is on equitable and inclusive economic development for everyone in St. Louis — regardless of geography, socioeconomic status or race. The Economic Justice Action Plan will guide the unprecedented investment in marginalized communities in St. Louis — particularly North City.

Economic Justice Accelerator

The Economic Justice Accelerator is a fund designed to leverage public funding, private equity and philanthropic investment to sustain the Economic Justice Action Plan through and beyond 2026.

Economic Development & Transformation Fund

To support economic development activity, in partnership with the City and SLDC, the St. Louis Community Foundation established the Economic Development & Transformation Fund. The philanthropic capital raised through the Transformation Fund will be used to catalyze additional public and private funding focused on economic justice.
