The 2018-2019 Pick-a-Project program is open now through mid-May 2019.
How it works
Pick-a-Projects are submitted by Springfield Public Schools teachers and stay online at supportsps.org until they are funded, or for 40 days, whichever comes first. If at the end of 40 days, the project isn’t fully funded, all donations made will still go to the teacher who submitted the request to use for their classroom.
Browse through the projects available to find the projects you want to support.
Next, make your donation online. No account is required. It only takes a few minutes to contribute, on our secure website. You decide how much to give, beginning at $5 per contribution. You can donate $5, $20, fund the whole project, or an amount in between. One hundred percent of your donation will go to the Pick-a-Project you choose.
Any amount you give will help students right here in our own community with the tools and resources they need in order to have innovative, creative learning projects that go beyond the basics in their classrooms. Plus, it’s tax-deductible. The Foundation for Springfield Public Schools will mail or email your tax receipt.
Matching gifts
If your employer has a matching gift program, we encourage you to notify them of your contribution and multiply the power of your gift! If you or your employer need any assistance with documentation or have questions we will be glad to assist you.
Share on social media
Share the excitement of giving to Pick-a-Project with your friends and co-workers on Facebook or Twitter.
