A St. Louis, Missouri private foundation advancing equitable opportunity
Northwest Chamber Charitable Foundation was launched in partnership with the Northwest Chamber of Commerce to keep philanthropic dollars anchored along the Saint Charles Rock Road corridor and the greater St. Louis community. We invest in initiatives that help small businesses scale, expand access to quality education, and improve quality of life in historically under-resourced neighborhoods.
Recognized by the IRS as a tax-exempt private foundation (EIN 47-4845419), we appear on the Publication 78 Data list with Deductibility Code PF—meaning donors may rely on our status when determining the deductibility of their contributions. Our board evaluates each investment using community-driven metrics tied to jobs created, students served, and families supported.
