SSC Charitable Grant and Volunteer Requests

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 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.

Grants are approved or denied based on how they align with the purpose of the SSC as outlined in the SSC constitution. The purpose of the SSC shall be to develop, organize and sponsor educational, charitable and social activities. The goal is to disseminate information of interest and value to its members and to foster, protect and preserve the ideals of charity, benevolence and good fellowship in keeping with the ideals of the United States Armed Forces.

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.
