Foundation
Funding & enhancing educational programs
The SPCS Foundation provides avenues where individuals, organizations, and businesses can help support the school system through tax-deductible contributions. We use these monies to supplement our programs and provide for the unfunded needs of our educational community. The Foundation is a legally incorporated and non-profit organization established in accordance with state and federal tax guidelines.
The goals and objectives of the SPCS Education Foundation are very simple. We want to improve educational opportunities within the district by providing additional resources for a variety of academic, vocational, and extracurricular programs. These programs directly benefit students, faculty, and the community.
OUR MISSION
The mission of the Springfield Platteview Education Foundation is to support students and staff by funding and enhancing educational programs within the Springfield Platteview Community School district.

FOUNDATION PROGRAMS & ANNUAL EVENTS
Our programs include KidsCare, a before and after-school program at all district elementary schools, providing a safe and engaging space for students. We also have the Alumni and Friends Society, which connects with alumni and supporters to enhance communication, build relationships, and boost fundraising for our students and staff. Throughout the year, we host events such as an annual auction, a donation-only homecoming tailgate for alumni, and a summer golf scramble, along with offering student scholarships and staff appreciation initiatives.
Together, we aim to enrich the educational experience in our district and ensure that all students and staff have the support they need to thrive.
