Community Builders Network of Metro St. Louis (CBN)
Contact: Jenny Connelly-BowenBiographical Info
The Community Builders Network of Metro St. Louis (CBN) is a coalition of community building organizations, including community-based nonprofits, lenders, private developers, philanthropic organizations, and government actors. Our mission is to gather community leaders of all backgrounds to build engaged and equitable neighborhoods, which we believe are key to a strong and healthy St. Louis region.
CBN works to support and strengthen the St. Louis region’s community builders in three primary ways:
- Strong Organizations: Our organizational capacity building programs support our members and their partners so they can do their best work.
- Supportive Systems: Our civic capacity building programs build bridges across places, sectors, and silos and advocate for policies that strengthen our civic muscle.
- Sharing Stories: Our public awareness building programs spread the word about what it takes to make our neighborhoods great places to live–and why strong communities matter.
