Thank you for your interest in the Sheppard Spouses’ Club Charitable Grants Program. 

We are committed to supporting military families through volunteerism, social engagements, and charitable contributions. Through these endeavors, we strive to improve the quality of life for Team Sheppard, and the community at large.  

Through donations made at our Hangar Holiday Event and the Sheppard Thrift Shop we are able to offer these grant opportunities.

THINGS THAT SSC CONSIDERS WHEN REVIEWING REQUESTS: 

How many people will this benefit?

How will the money benefit the community?

What are the long-term benefits of this donation?

What is the total budget of the event/project and how much money has been raised to date?

Do you have any additional fundraisers planned? 

THINGS TO REMEMBER WHEN SUBMITTING: 

Please prioritize your needs; if you have urgent needs then please put those items at the top of your list. This allows us to fund parts of a request if we cannot fund the entire request.

Funds cannot be granted to individuals. All disbursements will be made payable to the requesting organization.

Please consider the time it takes for our board to discuss and decide on a request. Your request must be submitted by the last Wednesday of the month in order for us to review it at our monthly governing board meeting; held on the 1st Monday of the month (with the exception of Holidays). If you submit a request after the last Wednesday it will be reviewed at the following month's meeting.

We WILL NOT review requests during the months of June and July. Any requests received during this time will be held and reviewed at our August Board Meeting.

If you have any questions about the timing of a request please email our POC at ssc.helpinghands@gmail.com
