About Voluntary Interdistrict Choice
Voluntary Interdistrict Choice Corporation centers its grantmaking on student tuition tied to interdistrict transfers, with repeated awards to the same Missouri school districts across 2023, 2024, and 2025. The pattern is highly concentrated in the St. Louis region and supports a program model built around educational access and choice rather than one-off project funding. Large grants to Rockwood School District and Parkway School District appear at the top of the recent list, each receiving multi-million-dollar awards in multiple years. That consistency suggests an ongoing operating relationship with participating districts rather than occasional discretionary giving. The foundation’s stated priorities point to school desegregation and integration, student transportation, and program administration for interdistrict transfers. Its work is organized around enriching student educational experiences while promoting diversity and choice. Recent awards also show support for a broad set of local districts, including Mehlville, Special School District, School District of Clayton, Hancock Place, Bayless, St Louis Public Schools, Webster Groves, Brentwood, Affton, and Valley Park. Across the grant list, the funding is directed to students through school districts for tuition support, making the grantmaking model unusually direct and operationally focused.
What Voluntary Interdistrict Choice Funds
Student tuition support is the clearest thread in the foundation’s recent grants. Rockwood School District received $6,845,345 in 2023 and $4,821,654 in 2024, both for student tuition, while Parkway School District received $5,734,943 in 2023 and $4,834,708 in 2024 for the same purpose. The foundation also supports other district-based tuition payments at a smaller scale. Mehlville School District received $1,195,960 in 2023, $928,161 in 2024, and $889,040 in 2025 for student tuition. School District of Clayton received $1,060,130 in 2023, $1,037,090 in 2024, and $1,003,829 in 2025, also for student tuition. Its priorities align with educational access and choice, school desegregation and integration, and student transportation. Those themes are reflected in grants administered through local districts rather than through general operating awards to unrelated nonprofits.
