CANSSPA was created in the winter of 2022 as a group of parents who wanted to increase equity in their school communities and throughout the Seattle School District. During the 2023-2024 school year, CANSSPA began accepting donations from member schools and the community to fund-shift to member schools who are not able to fundraise in the same capacity. In the spring of 2024, $15,345 was shifted to 5 of our member schools. We are currently accepting donations for our upcoming spring 2025 disbursement.

Funds shifted to members schools are used for a variety of school needs, including: Grants to classroom teachers for supplies and training opportunities, gift cards for families in needs, snacks for students, and school events.
