SLDC Launches North St. Louis Small Business & Non-Profit Grant Transparency Portal

To strengthen public confidence in SLDC’s process of evaluating applications for the North St. Louis Small Business & Non-Profit Grant Program — and to remain as transparent as possible as funds are disbursed to conditionally approved applicants — SLDC has established the NSTL Grant Transparency Portal. Visit the Transparency Portal to access additional information about how grants were conditionally awarded, due diligence required for funding to be disbursed to awardees and ongoing reporting requirements for businesses funded. The Transparency Portal includes:  

• Program Applications & Legislation

• Overview of Programs & Evaluation Criteria

• Portions of Conditionally Approved Grant Recipients’ Applications

• Scores of Conditionally Approved Grant Recipients

• Conflict of Interest Waivers

• Frequently Asked Questions & Terms/Definitions 

• Administration Documents

The Transparency Portal will continue to evolve as SLDC’s compliance team completes its verification and confirmation of records for each applicant.
