Jordan Spieth Continues To Be a Champion in the Community with his Family Foundation

While his recent top five finishes at The Masters (tied for 4th) and the RBC Heritage (second place) have catapulted Jordan Spieth into the top 10 of the World Golf Rankings, that’s not the most important news Spieth has made recently.

The Jordan Spieth Family Foundation recently financial support from the foundation, with many of those having ties to North Texas. The foundation offers a platform for Jordan, who grew up in Dallas, to lend time, help grow awareness, and offer financial support for four philanthropic areas: individuals with special needs, pediatric cancer, junior golf, and military families and veterans.

“Once I had a platform that I knew could not only help raise funds but also awareness, it made sense,” Spieth recently said about why he decided to start his foundation. “What I’m most proud of, it’s not really necessarily the dollars, it’s more the amount of different programs we’ve been able to impact.”

In addition to the 21 Grant Partners in 2023, the foundation awarded 20 organizations with grants in 2022, 25 in 2021, and 22 in 2020.

In announcing its 2023 grant recipients, the organization stated on its website: “We are honored to share the great work of our 2023 Jordan Spieth Family Foundation Grant Partners. The JSFF team has enjoyed getting to know the leadership teams and the hearts of the 21 organizations. We are thrilled to share their stories over the next year; each group focuses on impactful work within our four mission pillars that inspires us, and we are so grateful to be supporting each of their unique journeys.”

The organization’s charitable giving doesn’t stop with its annal grant partners. In September 2022, Jordan, his wife Annie, and the foundation donated $500,000 to the Children’s Medical Center Foundation, the fundraising arm of Dallas-based Children’s Health, to support the expansion at Children’s Medical Center Plano, with a focus on pediatric oncology.

“Annie and I are very grateful to the incredible oncology staff at Children’s Health for their lifesaving work,” Jordan said in the press release announcing the donation. “While we hope research continues to make the issue nonexistent in the future, for now, our focus is on improving each family’s experience as much as possible.”
