Our Values

We believe how we work matters as much as what we fund.
These values guide our relationships with grantees, partners, and the communities we serve.

Our Story

Founded in 2014, the Berges Family Foundation was created as a way for the Berges Family to give back to the St. Louis community that had given so much to them. From the Foundation’s beginning, philanthropy has been grounded in the belief that every gift can make a difference and that generosity is measured not by its size, but by its purpose.

As the Berges Family Foundation looks to the future, it builds on this history, continuing to evolve its approach to philanthropy and seeking opportunities where its resources, relationships, and engagement can contribute to meaningful and lasting impact across the region.

We are honored to receive community recognition, which we view as a testament to the remarkable work of the nonprofit partners we’re privileged to support. Their dedication, bold action, and on-the-ground expertise are what drive real change. We share this recognition with them, and hope our journey encourages others to step into philanthropy in ways big or small. Together, we can create a deeper impact.
