The Spinks Family Foundation awarded over $1.8 million to 154 local organizations in 2025, the company said. “This total includes the foundation’s monthly donations, grant awards, annual Spinx store campaigns and the annual Spinx Charity Classic Golf Tournament,” the retailer told NACS.
The Spinks Family Foundation funds organizations that align with its mission in the areas of education, children, food security, substance abuse and mental health, Spinx said.
One of the foundation’s major events is its annual golf tournament benefiting local charities. Beneficiaries are selected by the Spinks Family Foundation Board and serve a three-year term. The 2025 Spinx Charity Classic raised more than $120,000, which will be split evenly among this year’s beneficiaries: American Red Cross, Gateway House, Inc., Meals on Wheels, The Salvation Army and United Ministries.
Twice a year, Spinx also hosts month-long, in-store fundraisers across its more than 90 retail locations. These campaigns invite customers to donate spare change at checkout to benefit the American Cancer Society and March of Dimes. This year, the company raised $237,640 for the American Cancer Society and $290,011 for March of Dimes.
“We are deeply committed to investing in the communities we call home and empowering the organizations that work tirelessly to serve those in need,” said Stewart Spinks, founder of Spinx. “This year’s grant recipients reflect a broad spectrum of causes that align with our mission of strengthening the fabric of our local communities.”
The Spinks Family Foundation accepts large gift requests of $10,000 and above once a year. The 2026 application period will open on March 1 and close on March 30.
