Seeking and Striving to prepare children aims to support families and children by providing concrete resources in times of need. Through our targeted support we hope to provide quality EXPERIENCES and alleviate stressors that may impact any family.

We know that success in school and in life is often tied to the wealth of enrichment opportunities that a child has. These activities increase background knowledge, impact self-esteem, and allow for individuals to explore their passion and develop new skills.

Additionally, we know that FINANCIAL stressors impacting families have a wider reaching impact then what may appear on the surface. THey can impact the daily resources available to children and cultivate anxiety to all effected.

Families can apply for concrete resources to help them access EXPERIENCES that would otherwise not be available or to alleviate FINANCIAL burdens, expected and unexpected. Some examples of causes that SSPC would fund would be unexpected car bills, ENROLLMENT fees for camps, grocery and gas gift cards, music lessons, and sports registration fees.

SSPC does their best to fund all requests, however, funding is based upon stated need and availability of funds. To apply for funding, please read and complete the 2019 funding application.

The 2019 SSPC funding application is intended to identify specific needs for individual families and provide concrete resources based upon documented need and funding availability.
