Stand together for SFUSD students - now more than ever!
Together for Schools is our urgent call-to-action to the greater San Francisco community—residents, businesses, community leaders—to stand together for students during a time of unprecedented uncertainty.
Every day, over 50,000 SFUSD students show up at school, ready to learn and grow. But as federal education funding faces deep cuts, SNAP benefits are reduced, and critical support systems for vulnerable families are being dismantled, the safety net our students depend on is disappearing.
The need has never been greater. The time to act is now.
When federal support vanishes, local communities must step up. Your donations to Spark make us nimble and able to respond quickly when policies shift and needs emerge.
Unlike restricted government funding, your gift allows us to direct resources where students need them most, when they need them most.
Students still need nutritious meals, mental health services, literacy instruction, and pathways to bright futures—regardless of what's happening in Washington.
Your support ensures that San Francisco's children don't pay the price for federal policy decisions beyond their control.
