The Little Bit Foundation
The Little Bit Foundation works to break down barriers to learning for under-resourced students through
partnerships and programs that serve the needs of the whole child, providing access to essential services
and experiences. Programs are aligned with district and school performance goals and provide for the needs
of the whole child. Working one-on-one with students, we support personal care, classroom readiness,
literacy, and health and wellness. Through our high school programming, we help students stay focused on
learning and on track for graduation, as well as plan beyond graduation. The results are positive personal
growth and increased self-esteem in students, impacted by poverty, leading to improved attendance,
behavior, and academic success.
The Little Bit Foundation is dedicated to empowering students to achieve their academic goals and dreams
for the future, uplifting them with words of encouragement and the knowledge that someone cares and
believes in them. Through a small team of employees and a volunteer base contributing over 16,000
volunteer hours each year, The Little Bit Foundation is currently serving approximately 17,000 students in
54 area schools. Since its founding in 2001, The Little Bit Foundation has impacted 60,000 students in St.
Louis City, St. Louis County, and St. Clair County in Illinois.
