DIFFERENCE MAKERS

Mainspring Academy received a donation of $75,000 from the Neviaser Foundation, which will make a significant difference for our recent expansion, supporting the continuance of our goal to provide the quality resources that will help students with intellectual and developmental differences thrive beyond their school experience! The Neviaser Foundation has made tremendous impacts for the special needs community in Jacksonville and we are so thankful to be included in their vision!

We received a donation of $5000 from the Maryellen Willis Foundation for the purchase of SMART Interactive Whiteboards for additional classrooms this school year. The Maryellen Willis Foundation has supported many projects at Mainspring Academy including our adaptive PE program, music program, school technology, and an adaptive art curriculum. SMART Technology has been instrumental in fostering student academic engagement in the classroom. We are so grateful for their generosity and partnership in our school programming needs!

Thank you so much to HEAL Foundation for granting us funding for 20 adaptive mice for our student desktop computers! We are so grateful for their consistent support in helping us provide individualized learning for them!!

Thank you to Natural Life for choosing Mainspring Academy as your nonprofit organization to receive a $5000 grant for end-of-year giving. We are so appreciative of our compassionate community in helping our students grow!!!

On behalf of the Mainspring Academy community of parents, staff, and supporters, thank you for the compassion and commitment you have shown for our students and school. It is the kindness of our donors and volunteers that has helped us to expand in size and quality, furthering our mission to provide quality, individualized education in a safe learning environment for students with intellectual and developmental differences who are often missed.
Thank you for the differences you make.
