Spencer Area Community Foundation

The Spencer Area Community Foundation Fund was formed to support charitable, benevolent, educational, recreational, cultural and civic community programs for the residents of Spencer, pop. 536, and the surrounding area.  Possible use for future gifts include, but are not limited to:  library, park improvement, community hall renovations, swimming pool, youth Programs, tourism and other community beautification projects.

In June 2000, the Fund Advisory Committee received a $60,000 from a former area resident.  The donation was made in honor of the donor's brother who died in 1985.  According to the donor, she had been considering honoring her brother in this way for quite some time.  When she heard of the formation of the Spencer Area Community Foundation and its affiliation with the Nebraska Community Foundation, she proceeded with her intentions.  This donation is the first major gift the Foundation has received and is a great starting point for future fundraising by the board.
