Support the Park. Rise Together.

Midwest BankCentre is proud to support Tower Grove Park. It’s one of the most spectacular landmarks in the region, with its exquisite beauty and rich history. But, you might think: 

Why would a bank sponsor a park?

The short answer: we share a common goal of enhancing the local community. 

The beauty of Tower Grove Park is not just in its flora; it’s also in how the Park brings people together, providing a safe, inclusive space to play, exercise, and learn. It’s an integral part of the community, and at Midwest BankCentre, we invest in the whole community. 

A values-based bank, Midwest BankCentre is dedicated to strengthening the St. Louis region by investing deposit dollars directly and equitably into the community. In fact, $95 of every $100 deposited stays in the region to build local businesses and support local families. Each of these dollars circulates throughout the economy an average of six times, creating ripples of positive change.

The Park’s most frequent visitors are residents of its surrounding neighborhoods, which are richly diverse in race, ethnicity and socio-economic backgrounds. Some members of these communities have historically been denied the opportunity to access capital, curtailing their dreams of owning a home, starting or scaling a business. Midwest BankCentre levels the playing field, giving all members of the community equal access to capital, so we can all DREAM BIG.

How can I help?

Support the Park with a membership or donation, and invest in the entire community. When you donate to the Park, you’re not just preserving its grounds. You’re paying the salaries of those who maintain it. Your neighbors’ salaries. You’re supporting the small businesses that sell their goods at the Farmers’ Market and in food trucks. You’re giving local children a safe, clean place to play. You’re ensuring that the Park will be around for the next generation to enjoy. 

These are not small expenses. Nearly $1 million is needed each year to sustain Park operations. But, Tower Grove Park memberships greatly offset these costs, while giving you exclusive benefits to enjoy, like discounts and invitations to members-only events. 

Where we choose to invest our money matters. By serving and supporting Tower Grove Park and its visitors, we all RISE TOGETHER.
