We are champions of public education.
Our mission is to champion great public schools in San Francisco for all children to realize their brightest potential.
Spark SF Public Schools is the only non-profit 501(c)3 organization in formal partnership with the San Francisco Unified School District to receive and mobilize philanthropic and community funds on behalf of the district.
Our Focus Areas
We invest philanthropic funds in three priority focus areas to catalyze lasting, systemic change in San Francisco’s public school system.
Advancing Excellence in Teaching and Learning
Students and teachers are at the heart of our work. We pilot new ventures, propel promising ideas, and scale proven practices across the district, all in the name of excellence in teaching and learning.
Uplifting Equity
Equitable access to an excellent education is a fundamental civil right. It is our collective responsibility to ensure that each and every child receives the quality instruction and equitable support required to thrive in the 21st century.
Serving the Whole Child
By addressing the comprehensive needs of children, schools help foster stronger communities. When children feel connected and supported, they are more likely to contribute positively to their communities, both in school and later in life.
