Everyone can do something to lift up others.

Orvin Kimbrough was given many opportunities in his life that have allowed him to learn, grow, and succeed beyond expectations.


Everyone can give something — time, dollars, work, mentorship, kindness — to help someone else, and together, we can lift up whole communities.

With Orv's own local community connections and support, he's helped establish these favorite causes.

UMSL Fund

As Orvin moved on from United Way, his service was honored as her partnered with donors and the board to establish the Orvin Kimbrough fund to support kids from similar challenged backgrounds.

Hand Up for Children: College Bound

After creating Hand Up for Children to help at-risk youth like Orvin was get on the path toward a college degree, he connected with another then-fledgling local nonprofit startup, College Bound.

Rising Together Foundation

Orvin established this foundation at Midwest BankCentre to encourage investment in small businesses, home ownership, and small dollar loans.

The St. Louis American Foundation

In 2011, Orvin wondered why we didn’t have more initiatives to celebrate young and diverse, and particularly Black talent available. The Salute to Young Leaders was born out of that gap.

For donations, be sure to include “Fund Orvin Kimbrough, Salute to Young Leaders” in the notes section.

St. Louis Get On Board

Orvin created St. Louis On Board, a thought-leadership and networking group on LinkedIn who meets once a year physically to facilitate interaction between our regional nonprofit organizations and St. Louis' top diverse executives, to match talent to board service.
