Students' Philanthropic Foundation

The Students' Philanthropic Foundation (SPF) is a student-led charity that acts on a global scale to improve educational and health outcomes of youths worldwide. Our mission at SPF is to support the education and health outcomes of children and youths worldwide through student-led fundraising. The idea of starting a foundation by students, for students was born when a group of high school students in Germany decided they wanted to give back what they viewed as their greatest privilege: access to education. SPF aims to involve as many students as possible in philanthropic work both globally and regionally, channeling the expertise, creativity, and effort of a diverse and motivated group of individuals to ensure every youth has access to health and education. On a regional scale SPF collaborates with locally operating non-profit organizations and creates change through volunteering action by students, for locals. As a trustee foundation, SPF works together with Plan International to actualize this goal on a global scale, supporting educational and vocational projects that bring about tangible and positive change. Our vision at SPF is to drastically reduce extreme poverty and hardship on both a global and regional scale. We recognize that education is a key determinant of economic prosperity and hope to act as a catalyst for the continuous improvement of quality of life and economic development. Furthermore, we want to develop SPF into a charity that acts as a global point of reference for students wanting to get involved in philanthropic work. At SPF, we want to inspire students to work for a greater good wherever and whenever possible.
