""If you look at it, there's an anonymous donor who wants to give you $250, would you click on it? Probably not," said Ginny Fang, president of Spark."
""This gift is unexpected and a blessing," Fang said, reading from one teacher's response. Another educator wrote, 'this is so wonderful I can't believe this it's true.'"
""I want educators across San Francisco to feel seen and appreciated for the work they do every day," said the anonymous donor."
""We live in an expensive city, no question, and it's more and more expensive," Fang said. "Being able to take care of themselves and their families, that's a real-life pressure.""
An anonymous donor has given $1.6 million to benefit educators in the San Francisco Unified School District, resulting in $250 gift cards for about 6,000 teachers and paraeducators. The donation, coordinated by the nonprofit Spark, was initially met with skepticism but has been received with gratitude. Educators expressed appreciation for the unexpected financial support, especially given the high cost of living in San Francisco. The funds will assist with daily necessities and personal goals for many school employees.
