The Stanzel Family Foundation concentrates its giving on local community-based youth programming, directing all recorded support to the Champion Valley Boys & Girls Club. Their grants indicate a strong, ongoing commitment to rural youth services and community enrichment in the Schulenburg/Champion Valley area. The foundation appears to operate as a local family foundation that prefers direct, substantial support to a single trusted nonprofit partner.
The Stanzel Family Foundation Inc’s recent giving is anchored by repeated $70,000 awards to the Champion Valley Boys and Girls Club in Weimar, a clear sign of sustained support for youth programming in the Schulenburg/Champion Valley area. Across the record, the foundation directs funds to local schools, scholarships, and community organizations that serve children, students, and families in Fayette County and nearby towns. Its portfolio includes community-program support for Navidad Valley Community Connections, Turtle Wing Foundation, and Arts for Rural Texas - Fine Arts, alongside campus-specific support for Blinn College Foundation in Schulenburg and scholarship aid for local students and nursing students. The pattern points to a family foundation with a local operating style: direct grants, close ties to named community partners, and repeated support for the same organizations over multiple years. Education shows up in several forms, from teacher-led classroom projects to college scholarships and professional scholarships, while early childhood and health-related work appear through supported programs such as Parents As Teachers and Healthy High / Healthy Choices. The foundation’s giving is concentrated in the Schulenburg and Weimar area, with a strong community-enrichment emphasis rather than broad regional or national grantmaking.
Education is one of the foundation’s clearest themes. It gave $34,000 to Blinn College Foundation for the Schulenburg, TX campus and $15,459 to St Michael School in Weimar for a teacher-generated instructional grant. Student access to college is also supported through named scholarship awards, including $4,921 to Ethan Jacobs and $4,500 to Katelyn Sassin for college scholarships. Health and training appear in the scholarship program for professionals, which is designed for people living in or serving Schulenburg ISD or Weimar ISD. The foundation also backs nursing education, giving $5,000 to Victoria College - Zelda Allen School of Nursing in both 2023 and 2024. Beyond formal schooling, it has funded community enrichment through local partners such as Fayette County Community Theatre and Fayette County Habitat for Humanity, both tied to place-based community life in the area.
Typical grant size is small and consistent: the 25th percentile is $2,000, the median is $3,000, and the 75th percentile is $3,421. The recent record also shows a few much larger program awards, including $70,000 grants, alongside recurring scholarship and classroom-support amounts clustered around $4,500 to $5,000. The foundation gives repeatedly to the same organizations across multiple years, including community and education partners. It operates as a family foundation and makes direct grants rather than program-related investments. Several of its active programs accept unsolicited requests, including teacher instructional grants, professional scholarships, high school scholarships, general grants, and capacity-building grants.
