Give to the Max Day

Goal: $10,000

Help open doors for Twin Cities students by donating to SparkPath’s Scholarship Fund.

“The scholarships that are provided to us offer significant educational benefits that only field trips can provide! We love to be able to enhance learning through real-world experiences, and field trips allow students to connect classroom lessons with real-world applications. But most importantly, scholarships ensure that all students, regardless of financial means, can participate in field trips, promoting inclusivity and equal access to these valuable educational experiences.”

Donate to Support SparkPath’s Scholarship Fund

Investing in the Next Generation: For the past four years, generous community members have contributed over $56,000 to SparkPath’s Scholarship Fund. Last year alone, donors provided 33 scholarships of $500 each, giving students a chance to attend CreativeCon, Creativity Festival, and the Young Authors Conference at a reduced rate.

This Give to the Max Day, your donation will continue that momentum, helping more schools bring students to our programs during the 2026-2027 school year.

SparkPath field trips are more than a day away from school—they are a launching pad for future possibilities. Our field trips provide:

  • Self-discovery experiences
  • A day that celebrates their curiosity
  • A day to practice creativity and problem-solving
  • Learning from and with community professionals
  • Career exploration
  • Hands-on activities
  • Encouragement to plan creatively and confidently for their future
  • A day on a college campus
  • An invitation to learn about abundant avenues for further exploration

When you give to SparkPath during Give to the Max Day, you give more than dollars; you give opportunity, inspiration, confidence, and connection. Your support ensures that cost never stands in the way of students’ chances to explore, create, and grow.
