On Giving Tuesday, Our Sophisticated Living Charity Register is Your Conduit to Holiday Giving

by Grayling Holmes

‘Tis the season for… GIVING. Today is #GivingTuesday 2025, the global day of unity and giving. It’s time to open your pocketbooks and give back to those less fortunate. Here, we have two ways to help.

First, right now, Give STL Day is in full swing, and you still have a chance to help. Throughout the day and into the evening, more than a thousand organizations will seek donations to continue their missions. Click here for a LIVE STREAM of representatives of charitable organizations as they are interviewed by the St. Louis Community Foundation, who is raising funds for #GivingTuesday.

Secondly, the Sophisticated Giving Charity Register St. Louis serves as an invaluable guide for making informed and impactful gifts. Learn about it below.

SOPHISTICATED GIVING CHARITY REGISTER

We’ve also done our part to GIVE BACK… Since 2015, Sophisticated Living has helped raise more than $3-million and garnered much-needed awareness for St. Louis non-profits through its Sophisticated Giving Charity Register. Our 2025 register is in the final stages. Click here for a look at last year’s register.

There are more than 19,000 nonprofits in St. Louis. In these divisive and unpredictable times, it is more important than ever that we support St. Louis’ nonprofits to ensure they both survive and thrive.

In the pages of the 2024 register, through your sponsorship, we have assembled a multitude of organizations. We state the organization’s history, purpose, goals, and needs. Organizations from the arts to education, public welfare, and far beyond are included in this year’s Sophisticated Giving. Click here to view last year’s publication.

Leaf through the pages of the register and you can learn more about those groups who are helping our city help others. The stories they educate us on what is being done, and what is still needed.

The 2025 register will soon be available to view.
