The Springs Close Foundation aims to honor Colonel Springs’ legacy by giving back to the communities where Springs Mills plants were originally situated. It supports non-profit organizations financially, has provided close to $150 million since its inception in 1942, and focuses on enhancing the quality of life in the communities of Chester, Lancaster, and York Counties through dedicated Community Boards.
The Springs Close Foundation Grant program focuses on assisting community groups and agencies within its service area with programs and projects that significantly improve the quality of life for residents. Acknowledging that funds are limited relative to the needs present, the Foundation emphasizes careful prioritization and supports project-based initiatives. Applicants are expected to provide a detailed breakdown of project expenses and potential funding sources, along with a letter of inquiry detailing the project.
