Why Spaulding?

Spaulding Education Fund is an independent, nonprofit organization supporting programs that enhance the academic curriculum of the Manchester Essex Regional School District. For over 30 years, our grants to MERSD educators have helped students reach their greatest potential through innovative, creative educational opportunities that can’t be funded through the tax-supported school budget. 

Examples of recent grants include an automated cutting tool for the high school Robotics Team; funds to update the library collections at Essex Elementary School and Memorial Elementary School; specialized graphing calculators for math and science students in grades 6-12; and tickets to a Broadway play for high school music students.
