Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater St. Louis (BGCSTL) is the proud recipient of a $100,000 grant from the Taco Bell Foundation. This generous grant will not only support academic success programs, but also inspire and fuel the academic ambitions of our Club members.  The funds will bolster various educational programs, including Power Hour homework help, robotics, coding for the future, and other programs that educate and enable Club members to build great futures. 

With the generous support of our partners at Taco Bell, BGCSTL programs are making significant strides in three priority outcome areas: academic success, good character and citizenship, and healthy lifestyles. This grant has opened up new avenues for academic success for our Club members, instilling hope and optimism for their future. 

“We are happy to receive the Taco Bell Foundation grant for a second year.  Our members benefit from programs such as Power Hour, which gives them the tools needed for academic success,” said BGCSTL President Dr. Flint Fowler. 

Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater St. Louis is one of more than 400 youth-serving organizations to receive a portion of the $15 million in grants presented by the Taco Bell Foundation this year. These grants are a testament to the Taco Bell Foundation’s unwavering commitment to breaking down barriers and fueling young people’s boldest ambitions.
