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.

Have you ever delivered grants with the Foundation or gone on a grant visit?  If yes, briefly describe your experience.

Delivering grants to the awarded teachers with and on behalf of the Foundation is one of the most rewarding experiences in which one can participate in Springfield. The grant certificates are awarded to teachers during their class time and they are unaware if their grant had been funded before the visit. Seeing the faces of these hard working educators light up and their students learn about what new materials or experiences they’ll be having is truly a humbling experience.

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

The most precious and valuable resource in all of space and time is the imagination of a child and the potential contained within. There are ideas, products, and services locked away in the mind of a child today that will revolutionize our lives in ways we cannot even conceive. The Foundation for Springfield Public Schools and the educators it supports are tasked with providing the tools and experiences that will unlock that potential. It is truly an honor to be a small part of something so special and we would encourage others in the community – businesses and individuals – to support the Foundation in any way they are able.
