Stanzel Family Foundation opens grant cycle to support local organizations

SCHULENBURG AND WEIMAR — The Stanzel Family Foundation (SFF) has opened its general grant application process, offering funding opportunities for local nonprofits and organizations serving the Schulenburg and Weimar communities.

With a mission to support an educated and healthy community, SFF provides grants for operational support, community programs, and capital projects. The foundation follows a trust-based, community-led approach to philanthropy—empowering local leaders and organizations to shape solutions that meet real, on-the-ground needs.

“We know that the people closest to the work often have the best ideas,” said Melanie Ramirez, Program Director at SFF. “These grants are meant to support the creative, collaborative, and impactful efforts already happening in our communities.”
