The Regional Response Team (RRT) improves the health and well-being of underserved communities by mobilizing the nonprofit, philanthropic, and public sectors to collaboratively address life-threatening crises and system dysfunctions. The RRT is working to build a centralized system of response with the capacity to strengthen the resilience and recovery of the populations most affected by COVID-19 and the structural inequities that amplify its adverse impacts in the Greater St. Louis Region. The Greater St. Louis Region includes City of St. Louis, St. Louis County and St. Charles County in Missouri and Madison County and St. Clair County in Illinois. The RRT is committed to addressing systemic racism and structural inequities while responding to acute and ongoing crises. To date, the collaborative has organized millions in community funding and facilitated interventions around eviction prevention, vaccine education, medical support for unhoused community members, flooding recovery, and more.
The St. Louis Community Foundation fiscally sponsors the RRT. It is dedicated to inspiring purposeful philanthropy that connects the community and donors to build and preserve a more equitable and vibrant region. Additionally, the RRT is supported by a grant from the James S. McDonnell Foundation through June 2026.
