In keeping with this purpose, the Foundation awards grants directly to individuals rather than through institutions.

Today is , a global day dedicated to giving back to our communities. We hope you take a moment to give back to our St. Louis community.

The Greater University Service Foundation was founded with the purpose of making egoless dreams to improve our society a reality. With your support, that's just what we're doing every day.

Just this week, we awarded a grant to Christopher, a documentary filmmaker and resident of Canfield Green apartments, where Michael Brown lived and was tragically killed. Christopher is producing a documentary to explore the issues surrounding the death of Michael Brown and the larger issues at play in Ferguson and across the country. Christopher's preview was recently featured on public radio: http://www.scpr.org/programs/take-two/2014/11/25/40514/100-days-in-ferguson-new-film-documents-community/

We can't continue to make these investments in the St. Louis community without your support. Please visit www.gusf.org to give what you can. Thanks!
