MAC Historic Preservation Fund

Preserving a Landmark. Protecting a Legacy.


For more than a century, the Missouri Athletic Club's Downtown Clubhouse has stood as a symbol of tradition, excellence, and community in the heart of St. Louis. It has welcomed generations of members, hosted historic events, and served as a gathering place where friendships, memories, and legacies are built.

The MAC Historic Preservation Fund was established to help ensure that this treasured landmark continues to serve future generations. Through tax-deductible contributions, members and supporters can invest in the long-term preservation of the Club's historic home while protecting its architectural character and structural integrity.
 

Why It Matters

The Downtown Clubhouse is more than a building—it is a living part of the Club’s story and an important piece of St. Louis history. Contributions to the Historic Preservation Fund support the restoration and preservation of historic architectural features, the maintenance of essential building systems, and projects that protect the structure’s exterior and long-term integrity. These investments help ensure that the Club’s historic home remains a vibrant gathering place for members while preserving an iconic landmark within the St. Louis community.


A Trusted Partnership

The MAC Historic Preservation Fund is administered in partnership with the St. Louis Community Foundation, providing trusted stewardship, transparency, and oversight. Contributions are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.
