“THE DREAM”
S.A.F.E was founded to fulfill a ‘dream’ of a group of dedicated Springport residents to provide financial assistance to Springport High school graduates. The Springport Area Foundation for Education (S.A.F.E.) was chartered as a 501(c)3 non-profit corporation in November, 2003 for the sole purpose of providing that financial assistance to graduates of Springport High School to pursue educational pursuits. We believe this Foundation will provide a positive means for individuals to honor and memorialize a departed loved one. You may also pay tribute to someone living with a donation. All donations are welcome and greatly appreciated. With your continued support, S.A.F.E. will surely grow and have a positive impact on the lives of many Springport graduates. GOAL
S.A.F.E. is a self-perpetuating foundation. The funds of this foundation are raised through donations. Ninety percent (90%) of the investment income will be distributed as scholarships annually. The remaining 10% earned income will be added to the fund balance of the foundation. LIMITATIONS
