Triple the Power of your Charitable Gift in SS F
The Sterling Schools Foundation is pleased to announce that it has recently been included as a beneficiary of an estate gift, which will be used, in part, to provide significant matching funds. SSF will i those h matching funds to work as part of its 25th anniversary be putting celebration during 2015. “As of right now, all 2015 donations SSF receives for the Sterling Public Schools 1-to-1 computer program, Centennial Auditorium fund, and the Blue & Gold fund will be matched two-for-one,” said SSF Executive Director Jim Spencer. Through the SSF 25th Anniversary Matching Campaign, for every dollar you donate, THREE dollars will go to support your chosen program. “We have enough money in the matching grant fund to match up to $500,000 in donations, but the donations must be made by the end of 2015,” said Spencer. “We are excited by this unexpected opportunity to maximize the already great support we receive from our current donors and hope others choose to support our mission this year as well. With this campaign, the goal will be to grow our three biggest programs by a total of $1,500,000, of which $1,000,000 has already been set aside, just awaiting community and alumni support.” In August 2014, Sterling Public Schools launched its 1-to-1 computer program. All Sterling High School students now have their very own Apple MacBook Air computer to use at school and home until they graduate. Money donated to the SSF 1-to-1 Computer Fund through this new fundraising opportunity will help expand the program though all grade levels, beginning with Challand Middle School. “The 1-to-1 launch at Sterling High School has been well received by students, staff, and parents,” said SPS superintendent Tad Everett. “We
are anxious to expand the program district-wide, but tight budgets and our volatile state political environment leaves us in a state of financial uncertainty. With the matching grant and donor support through the fundraising campaign, we can work together to do what is right for our community and bring the future of education to all of our students now.” The cost to provide one student computer is $625. With the limited time 2-for-1 matching opportunity, a gift of the price of one computer during 2015 will provide THREE student computers. The Blue & Gold alumni newsletter and Centennial Auditorium are two of the most visible components of the SSF mission. The Blue & Gold alumni newsletter is mailed to nearly 13,000 households worldwide annually, while the eBlue & Gold is emailed to over 7,000 addresses every month. “It is truly a rarity for a public high school to offer publications like these on such a regular basis, and we are proud to be able to offer the service,” said Spencer. “The Blue & Gold is nearly as old as the foundation, and the additional financial support through this campaign this year can really help us put it on solid financial ground for many years to come.” Centennial Auditorium, 100% owned and funded by the Sterling Schools Foundation, will celebrate its 17th birthday in 2015. During the original campaign to raise the money for the auditorium, SSF told donors that its goal was to never use taxpayer dollars to build or operate the facility. “So far, we have been able to live up to that goal, but that will be more difficult to do as the years pass and costs rise,” said Paul Osborn, SSF secretary and 20-year member of the SSF board of directors. “That is why we need your financial support through this campaign this year. A second generation of performers will soon be stepping on that stage. The foundation wants to ensure that stage continues to be a state-of-the-art performance venue for many more generations to come.”
