​OTHER IDEAS FOR HELPING SPI
Sign up with Retail Partners
who will donate a % of your purchase price to SPI (at no extra cost to you!)
  • Amazon Smile: Sign up for the Amazon Smile program and SPI will receive a donation from the company for every purchase you make.  

  • Kroger Community Rewards: Go to www.kroger.com/communityrewards and sign up or sign in. At the bottom of the page you will be given the option to enroll to earn money for a school or community organization. When you search for the organization make sure you type in "Science Play-space initiative, SPI" so you can find it quickly.
Corporate Sponsorship
Your business or organization can support a particular program initiative, sponsor a free day for visitors, or get your name out there as a strong community partner by underwriting a special event or naming an exhibit space. A family membership to SPI - monthly or annually - also makes an excellent staff benefit or performance incentive.  Get in touch with Stephanie, our executive director, to learn more!
