The Little Bit Foundation

We are committed to breaking down barriers to learning for students living in poverty through partnerships and programs that serve the needs of the whole child. Our aim is to empower students to achieve their academic goals and dreams for the future, while leaving an imprint of love and hope on young lives for whom a little bit means a lot. Our model is one of a kind. In every school, Little Bit serves as the convener of programs and services that support district and school performance goals and address the needs of the whole child – body, mind and spirit – so that they can focus on their education. We do this by marshaling resources and specialized providers when necessary, and working one-on-one with each child to support his or her comfort, dignity and self-esteem; health and wellness; and academic enrichment. We are partnered with 42 schools in the St Louis Public Schools and Riverview Gardens School District and serve 13,500 annually.
