2025 Goals:
For more than 150 years, Spaulding Academy & Family Services has been a leading provider of educational, residential, therapeutic and foster care programs and services for children and youth with neurological, emotional, behavioral, learning or developmental challenges — including autism spectrum disorder — and those who have experienced significant trauma, abuse or neglect. We continually work toward delivering high-quality care and education with a culture based on kindness.
Fundraising Events:
In addition to participating in Giving Tuesday and NH Gives, Spaulding Academy & Family Services actively identifies ways to connect with individuals and companies who wish to support the children and families we serve. This summer, the first ever ultra marathon, The Spaulding Woods 50k, was hosted on our campus, all proceeds benefited Spaulding Academy & Family Services. Proceeds from the 2025 Spaulding Woods 50k will support outdoor enrichment and physical education opportunities for our students. 2025 fundraising efforts will help to fund the creation of our outdoor Amphitheatre and treehouse.
Giving Opportunities:
Spaulding Academy & Family Services greatly appreciates any and all donations, as public funding covers 90% of essential living, clinical and educational expenses. Every single dollar donated to Spaulding helps to ensure that each child on our campus and in our classrooms receives the childhood and education they deserve.
Private donation opportunities include unrestricted or restricted gifts, gifts of goods and services, matching gifts, stock, tribute or memorial gifts and lifetime gift planning. We are happy to work with you to design custom giving packages to support professional or personal goals. Our website allows those interested to donate securely and conveniently online.
Volunteer Opportunities:
We cherish volunteers who would like to give the gift of time and service to our children. Volunteer opportunities are abundant both on the Spaulding Academy & Family Services campus and in our community. We welcome discussions about your ideas and personal interests to develop a custom opportunity that achieves your personal or professional volunteer goals. Whether you have a personal talent, a community connection, a corporate service day, or wish to dedicate time toward charitable activities, we look forward to providing a rewarding volunteer opportunity for you.
