#supportSPS Campaigns Crowdfunding for Springfield Public Schools
The #supportSPS campaign is a peer-to-peer platform that allows supporters and friends of the Foundation for SPS to raise money for Foundation programs. Supporters can create their own campaign complete with a fundraising page on the Foundation’s website. They can ask their friends and family to donate using a unique URL for their specific campaign.
#supportSPS Campaigns can be created to raise funds for the following:
– #GiveBACK Day, a 24-hour fundraising event to support Back to School Grants
– The Foundation for SPS mission and goals to provide educational excellence for every student
– The Back to School Grant Program. This program receives requests directly from our educators.
– A fund managed by the Foundation for SPS
– A specific athletic program, school or project in SPS
Once the campaign is over, funds raised will be sent to your desired fund, program, school or SPS project.
