About Us
Gary and Vicki Spellerberg realize it is not the size of your bank account or a new purchase that brings meaning. Instead, it is those moments, feelings and connections that help make life complete.
There are so many organizations that they plan to support with the annual payout from their Donor Advised Endowment Fund. These include the Regional Medical Center, the Good Neighbor Society, the Delaware County Fair, community fire and ambulance services, community libraries, Castle Theater, the Delaware County Historical Society, Manchester and Ryan Community Endowment Funds, the Foundation for the Future of Delaware County, and Maquoketa Valley Community Schools, where Vicki was employed for 35 years and where Gary graduated.
Gary and Vicki Spellerberg realize that life is not built on what you can buy, but what you can feel, give, and cherish. By leaving a legacy fund for their community, they hope to improve the quality of life for future generations throughout Delaware County forever.
Mission
To improve the quality of life in Delaware County by partnering with the Foundation for the Future of Delaware County to support organizations that prioritize education, health, and strong communities.

Gary and Vicki Spellerberg recently presented a check for $770.00 to the Maquoketa Valley Speech program. This generous gift represents the very first payout from the Gary and Vicki Spellerberg Endowment Fund, which they established in 2024 to support local causes.
Each year, the Spellerbergs' endowment fund will generate a sustainable payout to be awarded to a non-profit organization of their choosing. This year, the Maquoketa Valley Speech team was selected as the historic first recipient!
The Spellerbergs want to thank the students and their coaches for their hard work and commitment to make the Maquoketa Valley Speech team one of the best, capturing Tri-Rivers Conference Championships and All-State honors year after year.
