JSFF Grant

At the Jordan Spieth Family Foundation, our goal across is to work with organizations who help remove barriers that stand in the way of families’ well-being. Whether those challenges are socio-economic, adaptive or otherwise, we are committed to providing direct support that empowers families to thrive. Across all four of our mission pillars — individuals with special needs, pediatric cancer, military families, and junior golf— we aim to fund partnerships that create access, opportunity, and a sense of belonging where it’s needed most.

Making a Lasting Impacting Our Four Pillars
The JSFF focus is on filling significant financial needs as we aim to work alongside groups with deep, impactful goals.
Individuals with Special Needs
SFF seeks to partner with programs that close the gap for those with cognitive or neurological special needs, ensuring these children and young adults have access to developmental programming and vocational opportunities to expand their communication, self-help, and social skills. We focus on pursuing partners that create developmental opportunities and promote inclusion for the intellectually disabled. We consider a limited number of recreation focused grant programs that prioritize mental and physical well-being and growth.
Junior Golf
We believe the game of golf can be a conduit for many life skills and an on-ramp for expanding youth horizons. JSFF will focus on junior golf programs that are diverse, emphasize outreac and remove potential socio-economic barriers to the game. We also pursue partnerships with groups that utilize golf as an avenue to furthering education and/or mentorship opportunities.
Military Families and Veterans
In an effort to honor those military members who have served our country, JSFF pursues established grant partners who directly impact service members and/or their families through Financial aid opportunities, familial respite support, mental and physical therapies and avenues that look to provide long-term support mechanisms. While focusing on more fundamental approaches to change, JSFF considers some therapeutic recreation programming that provides tangible, quantitative long-term support.
Pediatric Cancer
Our goal is to fund programs that offer direct care for children fighting cancer and their families. This includes supporting child life services, emotional and social therapies, familial respite, and avenues to overcome financial burdens on families when facing a diagnosis. Additionally, the ultimate goal of JSFF and our partners would be to eradicate pediatric cancers and we welcome grant applications for research and clinical trials.
