In 2009, KIPP Inspire Academy opened with 80 fifth graders and one promise: that we would do whatever it takes to help our students climb the mountain to and through college. Seven years later, we continue to make-and keep-that promise, now serving nearly 960 students in four schools. With the support of our sponsor, Washington University in St. Louis, KIPP St. Louis eventually plans to serve more than 2,600 students in six schools. KIPP St. Louis enrolls students from every zip code in the city, and aims to bring the opportunity for quality education to those students living in areas without access to high-performing schools. Ninety-eight percent of our students are African-American, 96 percent qualify for free or reduced-price meals, and 13 percent qualify for special education services.

The Forget Me Nots are a group of Stray Rescue's adoptable dogs who are still looking for their forever homes. These guys are often overlooked by most adopters for various reasons: they might need to be the only 4-legged companion who has your affection, or they might need to meet you a couple of times to be sure they can trust you - but once they do, you'll be their best friend for life! Due to the various quirks these dogs might have, we offer a lifetime of post-adoptive support, including free training (even in-home).

In 1987, HTA of St. Louis was founded to provide emotional, educational, and financial support to pre and post heart transplant patients and their families. In March of 1998, the Heart Transplant Association of St. Louis was incorporated and became a 501 c (3) non-profit organization. We are empowered to help all heart transplant patients in our area. Our purpose is to support pre and post heart transplant patients. Support and encouragement come through support meetings, social events and visitations with patients. We meet regularly to provide information on transplantation, medications, insurance, legal and governmental information. We have guest speakers, we work on public awareness projects in relation to organ donations, and we keep our members informed of all and any news related to patients and heart donation. We provide financial assistance to members in need through the Barnes-Jewish social work office. Annually we have fundraisers to provide funds for those who might need financial assistance. The assistance fund is not an entitlement program. Therefore, no guarantees are made as to whether any request can be granted. Since the fund is provided with charitable donations, availability of funds, the number of requests received, and other factors must be considered in providing assistance. It is however, the goal of the Heart Transplant Association of St. Louis to be of benefit to fellow transplant patients in need. We encourage visitation with those that are waiting for transplantation and we have a team of mentors who can give more in-depth encouragement and support.
