Why Support the Foundation
We have an overwhelming desire to help people in our community who have few, if any, options to find assistance in attaining life’s basic needs. The Spano Foundation exists to ensure that individuals and families with these needs receive the financial help necessary to provide food, clothing, shelter or medical attention.
Some organizations that seek to improve the community are in need of assistance themselves, sometimes due to lack of donations, grants, volunteers, or other things. In addition to helping people in need, The Spano Foundation provides funding and support for these organizations so they can continue assisting those in direct need.
Get Involved
Philanthropy means “the desire to promote the welfare of others.” We believe anyone with a heart for helping is already a philanthropist. Whether you give your time, your talent, or a generous donation, we believe the power of philanthropy transforms us all.
