The Rev. Douglas T. Pinkard Memorial Scholarship Fund
This scholarship fund was created in memory of Reverend Douglas T. Pinkard. He was a loving father who had five children who attended Spotsylvania County high schools. He was a Baptist Minister in the Spotsylvania community who committed his life to serving others. Some of his missions included: preaching and teaching the gospel, teaching Sunday school and feeding the hungry, as well as visiting the hospitals and prisons. At the age of 62, he was diagnosed with a brain tumor that took him home to be with the Lord. Reverend Pinkard once said, “Plant the seed, even though you may not be there to see the beauty of its maturity.”
The Pinkard family wishes to memorialize their loving family member through an annual scholarship that supports Spotsylvania County or City of Fredericksburg high school graduates who share Reverend Pinkard’s commitment to service. At least one scholarship of $1000 will be offered.
This scholarship is given as a seed that will be planted and cultivated so others may see its beauty.

The Schmidt Trade Construction Fund
The Schmidt Family Construction Fund aims to alleviate the financial burden on students and ensure they have the necessary resources to succeed in their chosen trade.
Joe Schmidt knows construction and Sharon Schmidt knows The Community Foundation. So, when it came time to create a charitable fund, they knew what they wanted to accomplish. The Schmidt's worked with the foundation to meet the needs Joe sees in the construction business today. More people are needed in the industry and the idea of this fund is to help students that are just getting into the field of construction.
This approach recognizes that while funding for classes and education is often available, students may face challenges in acquiring the tools of the trade such as protective equipment or specialized clothing.
This scholarship provides funds to purchase tools and other essential items crucial for practical training and professional development. Grants will be available for local students enrolled in an industry or construction training and certification program in either a high school or a community college.

The Seay Family Scholarship Fund
Nick and Marvin Seay (Garnett Marvin Seay, II) and their parents Kathryn and Garnett are representatives of a family with ties to our region that are 200 years old. Kathryn Hill Seay was a successful businesswoman and community volunteer who operated the General Washington Inn and who lead the effort to create Fredericksburg’s Meals on Wheels program. Garnett Seay was a businessman as well, but was also a fine craftsman, particularly known as a furniture builder.
This scholarship fund was initially created in memory of Garnett Marvin Seay II, known to all as Marvin, upon his untimely death at just 24 years old.

The Homeless Animals Support Network Fund
This fund, entrusted to the foundation in 2023, is the next step in the evolution of the Homeless Animals Support Network - HASN’s mission to meet the needs of homeless animals all over Virginia.
The work began in October of 2012 as a non-profit fundraising organization dedicated to saving lives and advocating for homeless animals in Prince William County. Realizing the need for assistance stretches across the state, HASN expanded to help other small animal rescue organizations throughout Virginia.
The purpose of the fund is to provide support on an as-needed basis for small rescues and shelters throughout the state of Virginia, to aid in the shared goal of a No-Kill VA. Realizing that not all rescues and communities have access to needed resources, the fund will bridge the gap by advocating for and providing grant assistance and resources to underserved and impoverished communities and homeless pets all across Virginia. Small shelters are defined as those with budgets of $300,000 or less.

The Spector Craft Prize for Emerging Artists
The Spector Craft Prize (the “Prize”) is an annual initiative launched in 2025 to champion excellence in American craft. Founded by Abigail Klem Spector and Warren Spector through the Spector Family Foundation, the program supports craft artists at pivotal moments in their careers through awards, mentorship, and community-building.
In an era dominated by rapid technological advancement, the Spector Craft Prize stands as a vital counterbalance by preserving material connections in an increasingly virtual world, supporting creative expression amid declining public funding for arts education, and reconnecting makers and the public to our shared heritage of craft. By championing craft artists at pivotal moments in their careers, the Spector Family Foundation aims to strengthen the role of craft in contemporary American culture.
Aim of the Prize
The Spector Craft Prize for Emerging Artists seeks to identify and support exceptional emerging craft artists whose work demonstrates technical mastery, innovative vision, and deep engagement with American culture. The Prize aims to recognize artists who show significant potential for contributing to the field and who would benefit from the comprehensive support provided by the program.
Selected artists represent the future of American craft and demonstrate a commitment to strengthening craft's role in contemporary American culture through their practice, community engagement, and artistic vision.
