Invest Stl

Invest STL facilitates investment in the power of people and their neighborhoods to develop communities of justice and opportunity in places that continue to endure the legacy of systemic anti-Black racism. We envision a St. Louis where every neighborhood is a chosen place to live, raise children and grow old. We are committed to helping people recognize and step into their power, to build and co-create strong visions, sounds investments, worthy places, and durable infrastructure within the St. Louis region. Powerful people - People have the confidence, capacity, authority and resources to envision and create a place that is physically, economically and emotionally worthy of being called home. Sound investments - Property investment is possible and advisable in predominantly Black neighborhoods. Worthy places - Individuals, children, and their parents feel their neighborhoods can be forever homes, worthy of their lifetime, where a well-valued life is possible and where they are offered the freedom to be great or to simply be. Durable infrastructure - Systems organizations, and individuals can sustainably act in alignment with the belief that every person deserves this kind of neighborhood and that anything less is unacceptable.
