Celebrating $150,000 in 2024-2025 grant recipients making a difference

TRI COUNTY – The Stanzel Family Foundation is thrilled to announce its 2024-2025 grant recipients, continuing its mission to empower local organizations that strengthen the communities of Schulenburg and Weimar. This year, $150,000 in funding has been awarded to eight exceptional organizations, each driving meaningful change and creating a lasting impact in their communities.

In addition to these eight recipients, the Stanzel Family Foundation proudly supported three organizations earlier this year: Arts for Rural Texas (ARTS), Alliance for College and Career Student Success in South-Central Texas (ACCSS), and Colorado County Habitat for Humanity (CCHFH).

These recent grants reflect the Stanzel Family Foundation’s unwavering mission to support educated and healthy communities in Schulenburg and Weimar. By partnering with local organizations, we strive to fulfill our vision of being active contributors to education and health, empowering generations of engaged citizen philanthropists to create lasting change.
