One Classroom is a 501(c)(3) foundation that creates inclusive Catholic educational opportunities for students with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) by providing funding, professional development, on-site coaching, and resources to parish schools, families, and clergy primarily in the Archdiocese of St. Louis.
One Classroom’s recent giving is built around one consistent purpose: supporting the inclusion of children with special needs in Catholic parish schools. The largest listed grants go to Mary Queen of Peace in St. Louis, including $52,500 in 2024, $41,800 in 2025, and $40,500 in 2023, all for inclusion of children with special needs. That pattern is echoed elsewhere in the portfolio. St. Francis of Assisi in St. Louis received $40,215 in 2024 and $32,100 in 2025 for the same purpose, while Christ the King Catholic Church in University City and Incarnate Word Parish in Chesterfield also appear repeatedly across multiple years. The foundation’s work is centered on parish schools and related Catholic education settings, where support staff, coaching, and training help schools include students with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Recent grants also reach schools and parishes in Florissant, Brentwood, Festus, Wentzville, Warrenton, Washington, and St. Paul, showing a school-based model that is tied to specific local communities rather than broad, open-ended grantmaking. Across the available records, the grant descriptions stay tightly focused on inclusion support.
Inclusion of children with special needs is the core of One Classroom’s grantmaking. Mary Queen of Peace received $41,800 in 2025 for that purpose, and St. Francis of Assisi received $32,100 in 2025 with the same stated aim. The foundation also supports parish schools that need staffing and classroom support for inclusive education, reflected in grants such as $29,040 to Christ the King Catholic Church in University City and $27,500 to Incarnate Word Parish in Chesterfield. Beyond parish-school support, One Classroom funds additional Catholic school settings where inclusion work is described in the grant purpose. St. Marys Hs received $16,000 in 2025, and St. Francis Borgia Catholic School received $19,500 in 2025, both to support inclusion of children with special needs. The repeated purpose text suggests a focused approach rather than a wide thematic spread.
Typical grant sizes cluster in a relatively narrow band: the 25th percentile is $10,125, the median is $15,580, and the 75th percentile is $22,518. Recent awards show repeated funding to the same recipients across 2023, 2024, and 2025, including Mary Queen of Peace, St. Francis of Assisi, Incarnate Word Parish, Christ the King Catholic Church, Sacred Heart Parish, St. Paul Catholic School, and Holy Rosary Parish. That pattern points to ongoing support rather than isolated one-time gifts. One Classroom is a regular funder, not a DAF or program-related investment vehicle, and its grantmaking is local in scope. The available records do not show an application process for its School Grants program, while its professional development support accepts unsolicited requests.

Grant dollars are concentrated entirely in Missouri, with 100% of reported grants going to recipients in the state. The strongest city-level presence is St. Louis, including Mary Queen of Peace, St. Francis of Assisi, and St. Margaret of Scotland School. Other Missouri recipient locations include University City, Chesterfield, Florissant, Brentwood, Festus, Wentzville, Warrenton, Washington, St. Paul, and Bloomsdale. The geography matches a local, Archdiocese-linked model rather than multi-state or national grantmaking.
One Classroom supports Catholic parish schools, Catholic schools, and related parish settings that are working to include children with special needs and intellectual and developmental disabilities. Recent recipients include parish schools and churches in St. Louis-area communities, and the stated purpose of the grants is consistently tied to inclusion support.
The recent grant distribution is centered on mid-five-figure and low-five-figure awards. The 25th percentile is $10,125, the median is $15,580, and the 75th percentile is $22,518.
No. The recipient country distribution shows all 44 grants went to U.S. recipients, and the state-level data shows 100% of grants went to recipients in Missouri.
Yes. Several recipients appear across multiple years, including Mary Queen of Peace, St. Francis of Assisi, Incarnate Word Parish, Christ the King Catholic Church, Sacred Heart Parish, St. Paul Catholic School, and Holy Rosary Parish. That indicates recurring support rather than a purely one-time pattern.
The Professional Development program accepts unsolicited requests. The School Grants program does not. The two programs serve different needs: one focuses on training, coaching, and resources, while the other funds support staff salaries for inclusion work.
