The Deer Creek Foundation is a private philanthropy interested primarily in two program areas.
Program I: The advancement and preservation of the governance of society by rule of the majority, with protection of basic rights as provided by the United States Constitution and Bill of Rights, and in education in its relation to this concept.
Program II: Charitable projects that have the potential to enrich the cultural and artistic quality of life in the St. Louis Metropolitan Area, and which are of a durable, physical nature.
Guidelines for Program Area I*
The Foundation gives priority to the encouragement and support of those projects and programs which show promise of having significant regional and national impact. The one exception is that preference is sometimes given to local projects in St. Louis, Missouri. As a general rule, action programs are favored.
Guidelines for Program Area II*
Grantmaking in this program area is limited to unique projects of exceptional merit of a durable, physical nature, which have the potential to enrich the cultural and artistic quality of life in the St. Louis Metropolitan Area, and may entail what heretofore would have been viewed as unusually large grants. Preference may given to those projects which provide for and place sculpture on the St. Louis Metropolitan Area, and projects which create or maintain environments which can be enjoyed by the public in the St. Louis Metropolitan Area.
* The guidelines established by the Foundation's board of trustees normally preclude support for endowment and capital campaigns.
