Support the NSPRA Foundation: Investing in the Future of School Communication

For 90 years, the National School Public Relations Association (NSPRA) has helped schools and districts across North America strengthen trust and build meaningful connections with their communities. Behind every message, every newsletter, every carefully crafted response in a crisis—there’s a school communication professional working to keep families informed, students supported, and education accessible.

But behind them, there’s something even more powerful: a community that believes in their growth.

Established in 1985, the NSPRA Foundation has spent the last 40 years doing just that—supporting the development, education, and innovation of the professionals who make strategic school communication possible. As an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit, the Foundation funds scholarships to the NSPRA National Seminar, supports communication-focused research, and ensures that school PR professionals—especially those in under-resourced communities—have access to the professional learning they need to lead with confidence.

Each donation made and every Silent Auction item bid on directly supports the Foundation’s work to:

Promote sound communication practices in education
Inform the public about the vital role of schools in a democratic society
Support research and resource development that elevates our field
Provide equitable access to professional development for communication professionals in public education

Whether it’s sending a first-time attendee to their very first Seminar, funding a research initiative that advances our profession, or helping school districts communicate more clearly with their communities, your support matters.

Join us as we celebrate 40 years of the NSPRA Foundation and 90 years of NSPRA by giving back to the very people who help schools thrive through communication.

Bid. Donate. Invest in the voices that build trust in public education.
