The beneficiaries of the St. Louis Scottish Games are typically selected from local organizations in need, with the number depending on net proceeds. For example, in past years, St Louis Scottish Games sponsored history and music concerts in several local school districts, provided free admission tickets to several local children's organizations, and made donations to several organizations including: the St Louis Firemen (used to purchase needed life-saving equipment), the Scottish American Military Society (Veterans), the Scottish St Andrew Society of Greater St Louis, The World Bird Sanctuary, and the St Louis BackStoppers (First responder family assistance).
