How can I donate to Student Sponsor Partners?

There are a number of ways to donate to SSP®:

• Individual One-Time Donations through the SSP Donate Now Page: All donations through our Donate Now page contribute directly to helping SSP students receive a quality education and graduate from high school. Each donation provides additional funding either for specific programs or Student Sponsor Partners’ general operating expense. You may also mail a check to SSP at 424 Madison Avenue, Suite 1002, New York, NY 10017.

• Corporate Donations: SSP has a strong history of partnerships with corporations in New York City. Corporations can donate either to Student Sponsor Partners’ general operating expenses or directly to fund the tuition of students. Corporations also bolster the SSP program by encouraging their employees to participate as sponsors and mentors, helping to coordinate employee-student events, and contributing to employee matching gift programs.

• Sponsorship: Sponsors directly fund the tuition of one or more SSP students.

SSP supporters may also sponsor or mentor a student; if you are interested in signing up or learning more about being a sponsor or a mentor, click here.
