Grantee Spotlight-Mission: St. Louis
Mission: St. Louis has been a funded partner of Marillac Mission Fund since 2010. They empower individuals for social and economic growth through relationship and opportunity. They believe individuals use their power and influence to break the cycles of poverty. With relationship in hand, they have made a strategic set of programs available to work together to address critical stages in the cycle of poverty. The solution they envision is a multi-generational approach to empowering people by addressing education, workforce development, housing, and crime reduction in tandem to fight poverty across a lifetime. Specifically, MMF funds their home repair services to older adults in North St. Louis.
This Grantee Spotlight further tells the stories of their impact in the community.

We are deeply saddened by the passing of Pope Francis. As a ministry of the Catholic church, we mourn the loss of his leadership but take comfort in the knowledge of his eternal rest through the love and sacrifice of Jesus. With gratitude for the life and witness of Pope Francis, we pray now, “Go, good and faithful servant, to your eternal reward!” At the same time, we welcome Pope Leo to carry on Pope Francis' legacy of mercy, compassion, care for immigrants, and living out the Catholic Social Teachings that guide our work.

Government Funding Cuts Put Nonprofits at Risk
Nonprofits are the cornerstone of vibrant, resilient communities, providing day-to-day services and critical supports when disasters strike. In communities nationwide, nonprofits provide groceries, meals, and shelter to people experiencing housing and food insecurity. They take care of the young and the elderly, run suicide prevention hotlines and intervention services, and provide job training. Nonprofits organize after-school tutoring programs and manage free and low-cost medical clinics in rural, suburban, and urban communities. They help people gather, share stories, and organize community groups.
