FOUNDATION FOR SPRINGFIELD PUBLIC SCHOOLS

BRIDGING THE GAP BETWEEN FUNDING AND LEARNING

Welcome to the Foundation for Springfield Public Schools, where we work to promote educational excellence for every child by raising, managing, and distributing private investment to benefit the students of Springfield Public Schools. With our community partners, we help bridge the gap between what schools need and what they can afford.

We are proud to support the Foundation for Springfield Public Schools as they work alongside the district to best equip students to be successful now and in the future. The community is only as great as our next generation.

No. However, we look forward to doing so in the future.

Why do you think it is important for the community to support the Foundation?

It is critical for the community to support the Foundation. Resources are limited at the district level and the Foundation has the capabilities to step in and fill those gaps. By filling the gaps, we are setting up our students (and community) for success.
