Jordan Spieth Family Foundation

What Jordan Spieth Family Foundation does

The Jordan Spieth Family Foundation (JSFF) is a private charitable foundation established in 2014 by professional golfer Jordan Spieth and his family, headquartered in Dallas, Texas. It operates as a grant-making organization across four defined philanthropic pillars: individuals with special needs (personally inspired by Spieth's sister Ellie, who was born with a neurological disorder), junior golf, military families and veterans, and pediatric cancer. The foundation does not sell products or services; instead, it accepts charitable donations through its website from Spieth personally, corporate sponsors (Under Armour, Titleist, AT&T, FanDuel, Rolex, NetJets), and individual contributors, and distributes funds via an annual community partnership grant program typically ranging from $50,000 to $500,000 per recipient.

Over the last decade, JSFF has contributed more than $10 million to charity partners, with disclosed pillar-level cumulative giving of approximately $3.15M to pediatric cancer, $2.55M to special needs programs, $2.17M to military families and veterans, and $2.14M to junior golf. In 2024, the foundation scaled its strategy by awarding a $500,000 grant to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital for AML research, donating $250,000 to the Cobbs Creek Foundation alongside Tiger Woods and TGR Foundation, and establishing its first endowment at Children's Health in Dallas. The 2026 grant cycle selected 11 partner organizations, signaling a formalized annual cadence.

JSFF has no technology platform or software offering; its core "product" is the foundation platform itself, marketed through jordanspiethgolf.com, Spieth's social media channels (Twitter, Instagram, Facebook), PGA Tour tournament coverage, and earned media. Go-to-market is event-driven (Spieth Shootout, Crush It! Cup in partnership with Invited/ClubCorp) and partnership-led, with distribution of funds managed through a grant application process focused on the four pillars. The foundation operates primarily in North Texas with a growing national footprint including Mid-Atlantic initiatives via the Cobbs Creek collaboration.

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• Stephen & Ayesha Curry Foundation (Eat. Learn. Play.): Family-led athlete foundation using sport as an on-ramp to youth development, education, and hunger relief — closely parallel to JSFF's sport-as-pathway model for junior golf and special-needs beneficiaries.
• Drew Brees Foundation / Brees Dream Foundation: NFL quarterback-founded family foundation; structurally similar to JSFF as a celebrity-anchored multi-cause grantmaking entity supporting youth, cancer research, and community programs in the founder's home region.
• Russell Westbrook Why Not? Foundation: Family-led athlete foundation targeting education, workforce development, and family support for underserved communities — analogous model to JSFF using a sports star's platform to drive philanthropic capital.
• 15 and the Mahomies Foundation: Patrick Mahomes' family foundation supporting children in need across health, wellness, and education; same celebrity-driven, family-operated grantmaking model as JSFF.
• TGR Foundation: Tiger Woods' flagship family foundation, structured identically to JSFF with multi-pillar philanthropy, junior-golf programming, and direct foundation-to-foundation collaboration (the Cobbs Creek / TGR Learning Lab partnership is a documented JSFF peer engagement).
• LeBron James Family Foundation: Athlete-founded multi-pillar family foundation with a strong education and youth-development focus; operates with a comparable celebrity-driven fundraising engine and has scaled well beyond JSFF in infrastructure and endowment model.

Broad incumbents

• Athletes for Hope: Coalition organization for athlete-led charitable initiatives — broader umbrella that JSFF could theoretically plug into for collective-cause campaigns, comparable to JSFF in athlete philanthropy space but operating as an aggregator rather than a single-family foundation.
• V Foundation for Cancer Research: Established celebrity-founded cancer-research grantmaker (Jim Valvano). JSFF's pediatric-cancer giving overlaps directly with the V Foundation's research-funding mandate, making it a relevant scale benchmark and potential co-investment partner.
• St. Jude Children's Research Hospital (ALSAC): JSFF's named 2024 community partner and recipient of JSFF's $500,000 AML grant; the dominant institutional pediatric-cancer grantmaker in the U.S. and a frequent counterpart foundation for celebrity-athlete donors.

Others

• Invited (formerly ClubCorp): Largest U.S. owner/operator of private membership clubs and JSFF's strategic GTM partner for junior golf (Crush It! Cup) — comparable as a recurring corporate co-funder rather than as a competing grantmaker.
