Our Impact

Priorities

In 2024, the Sprague Foundation Board undertook a strategic planning process to consider how to optimize our resources. We challenged ourselves to go deeper in fewer areas to maximize impact and best deliver on our mission. The result is a focus on two key areas (below) for a three-year period from 2025 to 2028. We’re excited to see what this process yields, learn from both successes and challenges, and refine the approach based on our discoveries.

Impact by the Numbers
