Spearman Community Fund

The Spearman Community Fund endowment is a powerful, permanent legacy that will have a lasting impact in Spearman beyond our lifetimes.  It will remain in existence forever, while a portion of its earnings are used to support the worthy projects of the nonprofits in our community every year.  This endowed fund at AAF has grown from $10,000 in 2013 to over $660,000 in September,2022.  The advisors have used a portion of the investment proceeds to award grants totaling over $139,500 to many Spearman nonprofits in the past 9 years.  We have supported SHS's ESL program, the Windmill Association, Station Master's House Museum, Hansford County Library, Spearman Swim Club, Spearman's flagpole and honor to R.L. McClellan, the O'Loughlin Center's Kid's Kamp, The Ministerial Alliance (Food Bank), the Dax Foundation and Snack Pak 4 Kids.  

Spearman has many nonprofits for a town our size, and we wouldn't have been able to do this without the help of The Panhandle Gives event.  It has helped us work together with our 501(c)3-qualified organizations to share the message of support for any and all Spearman charities during this time. The donations that we have received during this event have allowed us to increase our grants. We have appreciated all of the past support from our residents and those who still love to help Spearman, even though they don't live here.

Won't you help us help those non-profits who are meeting the needs of Spearman residents by giving your charitable gift? Every gift is important, whether small or large.  You can give online @thepanhandlegives.org.  Any checks should be dated between November 25th & December 3rd, and made out to:  THE PANHANDLE GIVES, with "Spearman Community Fund" in the memo line.  Early donations can be mailed to P.O. Box 598, Spearman, Tx 79081.  or contact any of the advisors.

The last few years have been tough for nonprofits, but the support that you have given to the Spearman Community Fund and Spearman nonprofits has helped them survive and thrive. Please help us make this the best year ever!

Who We Are

The Spearman Community Fund is an endowed fund that benefits all nonprofits in our community. This fund was created with a $10,000 donation in December, 2013, and it has grown to over $500,000. Broad-based support, at ANY level, will assure that this fund continues to grow. The corpus of the fund will remain intact, and the local advisors will continue to award grants to local nonprofits from a portion of investment proceeds.
