Children in our Residential Program are referred to the agency by the Department of Children and Family Services and/or the Missouri Department of Health and Social Services Children attending Emerson Academy Therapeutic school are assigned through the St. Louis Public Schools

The length of stay for a child at Annie Malone varies from case to case. Children coming to us in an emergency or respite situations may stay several days or for only a few hours. In other situations, children can stay for 18 months or more. Every effort is made to place children in homes outside the residential setting. As children mature, they also have the opportunity to participate in our Transitional Living Program designed to assist young people, ages 16 to 21, learn to live independent, productive lives.

Programs at Annie Malone are funded by, The United Way of Greater St. Louis, generous donations from May Day Activities including the Soiree Dinner, Community Fair & Barbeque, Gospel Concert, Blues Festival and Parade, General contributions and Sponsors, grants, Workplace Matching Campaigns, and our Giving Opportunities throughout the year.

Annie M. Turnbo Pope Malone (prominent entrepreneur and founder of Poro College) served as the President of the Board of Directors for this organization (first named St. Louis Colored Orphans Home) from 1919 to 1943. In 1946, the home was renamed Annie Malone Children’s Home in honor of the service, dedication and guidance given by Mrs. Malone.

Mrs. Malone was the first African American Millionaire in the United States. She owned the first Rolls Royce in the state of Missouri and in her lifetime helped thousands of women across the country and around the world become independent consultants with the sale and manufacture of her hair care and beauty products. Her philanthropic zeal was legendary, generously contributing to family, educational, community and many social service endeavors.

At the height of her career, Mrs. Malone owned substantial properties in the Chicago area, employed over 100,000 Poro Agents, had one hundred beauty stores, and had amassed holdings estimated at $14 million.
