Mission Statement
Luke 6:38 Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.”
The Swanson Pay-It-Forward Foundation (SPIFF Fund) is inspired to give glory to God by improving the world through thoughtful, intentional, and reproducible giving efforts that promote a continuation of good deeds by our recipients into the future. We work through encouraging others to actively look for those in need and to advocate for their assistance while encouraging the recipient to pass along good deeds to others.
SPIFF Fund focuses on three areas of assistance which are of particular interest to our values and focus. The first aspect is to ensure that the original Foundation remains intact as an Employee Driven charity providing assistance to our surrounding area based on the recommendations of employees at Norfolk Motor Company and Columbus Motor Company. This arm of SPIFF Fund has been operational for several years and will remain without any changes.
The second is a more focused effort on developing outreach to those who may be in need in the community by working closely with other organizations to assess that need and provide funding as determined. Although the area of focus will remain local to our known communities and neighbors, this arm of the Foundation may make contributions globally as determined.
The third arm of our organization is called “Kobi’s Kids” and will continue work that has been started to help provide assistance to a small community in Burkina Faso which is paying for school fees for children and providing occupational assistance to families in need.
Our Guiding Principles
SPIFF is a Christian Organization and is committed to the value and dignity of each human life, made in the image of God, from conception until natural death. Requests for assistance that violate this basic premise will not be considered.
