What Interfaith Partnership of Greater St. Louis does

Interfaith Partnership of Greater St. Louis is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 1985 (per company history) that convenes more than 30 religious communities of faith and conscience across the Greater St. Louis metropolitan area to deepen understanding, respect, and appreciation across lines of religious difference. The organization operates through a Cabinet of faith leaders and a small staff of 1-10 employees, delivering a portfolio of programs including the Interfaith Academy, Dialogue & Prayer Groups, YADA & IPY youth programs, Women of Faith, Community Service initiatives, and an Annual Dinner & Celebration, supplemented by a Virtual Archive and an Interfaith Calendar of Religious Observances.

Its core delivery model is event- and education-based, conducted through in-person community programs hosted at partner venues such as Eden Theological Seminary and the Saint Louis Art Museum, and increasingly through Zoom-based virtual courses such as 'The Human and the Holy' and 'Practicing Religion.' The organization holds the 2025 Candid/GuideStar Platinum Seal of Transparency and issues Cabinet statements responding to hate incidents and civic events, including 2023 Israel-Gaza conflict statements, Islamophobia statements, antisemitism solidarity statements, and May 2025 storm relief coordination.

The business model is donation- and membership-driven with no publicly disclosed revenue; the organization relies on contributions from individuals and congregations and offers services free or at minimal cost to ensure accessibility. No commercial revenue streams, enterprise customers, or technology platform monetization are present, and the organization has no AI, API, or proprietary software components described in available data.
