Annie Malone Children and Family Services: Cultural Restoration Capital Campaign
St. Louis is preparing for a historic evening that promises to ignite a cultural revolution. On February 22, 2026, the city will gather to honor a legacy of resilience, entrepreneurship, and community care. We invite you to “Save the Date” for the Annie Malone Children and Family Services Cultural Restoration Capital Campaign Premier Event.
This is more than a fundraiser; it is a reclamation of history. It serves as a tribute to the untold story of a St. Louis icon who changed the economic landscape of the nation. As we gather to support the future of our children, we also look back at the incredible foundation laid by Annie Turbo Malone. By attending, you directly support the critical work performed by Annie Malone Children and Family Services as they continue to uplift families across the region.

The Untold Story of Annie Turbo Malone
To understand the importance of this campaign, one must understand the titan of industry behind the name. Annie Turbo Malone is often the untold story of St. Louis history, yet her impact is monumental. She was a pioneer in the beauty industry and is recorded as the nation’s first female millionaire.
Her wealth, however, was not for personal gain alone. Malone was a dedicated philanthropist. She served on the board of the St. Louis Colored Orphans Home, which was eventually renamed Annie Malone Children and Family Services in her honor. She understood that community wealth is measured by how we treat our most vulnerable members.
Her Poro College in St. Louis was not just a cosmetology school; it was a community hub that provided jobs and economic independence for thousands of African American women. This event seeks to restore that spirit of empowerment. When you support this campaign, you help keep her spirit alive. You can read more about the importance of preserving these historical narratives at The Narrative Matters.
Why We Must Support Annie Malone Children and Family Services
The organization has stood as a beacon of hope for over a century. Today, the agency focuses on improving the quality of life for children, families, the elderly, and the community by providing social services, educational programs, and advocacy.
The Cultural Restoration Capital Campaign aims to secure the resources necessary to expand these vital services. The needs of our community are evolving, and our facilities and programs must evolve to meet them. This campaign ensures that the organization remains a safe haven and a resource center for decades to come.
For those interested in the broader context of African American philanthropy and its roots in organizations like ours, the National Museum of African American History and Culture offers excellent resources on how early trailblazers set the standard for community care.
