This year’s grant budget is the largest it has ever been, thanks to the generous donors who contributed to our Fund-A-Need at Parti Gras this past May. With $40,000 in additional funding, our total gift to our SPUSD educators will be $170,000! We funded 60 grants last year, and this year our goal is to fund at least 100!

Fall Fund Drive

A gift to SPEF will benefit students at all five South Pasadena public schools. SPEF’s annual fall fund drive, happening again this year, is a convenient way for you to help all students in the school district.

In October, every family in the district will receive a fundraising phone call, unless you have already given, and a follow-up email from a SPEF volunteer.

In November, we will show our thanks by placing our lively orange-and-black yard signs all over town. Please join us; any amount you can give is welcome. We can’t do this without you.
