The Foundation for Spreadsheet Education is now launched and operational largely because Brian and Clara Franke wrote a check for $50,000 before we had a website, a logo, or a donation page. They had seen how students benefit from Excel competitions and they "filled the first cell."

Our goal this year is to copy what they did. Fifty cells, $1,000 each, by December 31. This is not a matching challenge, because their gift is already ours and nothing is contingent on it. We are looking for more people who want to support students by copying what the Franke family did and pay it forward, we mean, Paste It Forward.

We will fill up fifty cells at $1,000 each to count up to $50,000. Whether you can fill part of a cell (any amount helps!) or a number of cells, your support drives student experiences: travel to championships they qualified for, prize money that makes the work feel real, curriculum for schools building their first team, and grants that let a university host a regional competition it could not otherwise afford.

Thank you in advance for your support and helping us to build Formulas for Student Success!

The Foundation for Spreadsheet Education is a registered 501(c)(3). EIN 39-4185078. Gifts are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.
