Our story begins with a young man, Victor Stanzel, plowing a field on his family farmland and being intrigued with some birds winging their way across the sky.

Along with his youngest brother, Joseph Stanzel, this vision of nature inspired a model airplane manufacturing enterprise and ultimately a foundation devoted to giving back to the community.

In 1989, the year before Joe's death, the Stanzel Family Foundation, Inc. was established as a 501(c)3 not-for-profit corporation.

The goals were to provide ongoing educational opportunities and to enhance the health and well-being of the residents of the Schulenburg and Weimar communities.

Our mission is to support educated and healthy communities in Schulenburg and Weimar.

Our vision is to be active partners in community, education, health, empowering generations of engaged citizen philanthropists.
