Giving Tuesday 2025

Your #GivingTuesday gift to the Otto Specht School provides the pOSSibility for each child to Belong, Shine, Learn, and Thrive.

Help Us Say “Yes” to Every Child

Educating a student with special needs can come at a staggering cost, and one that few families could afford outright even for one year. These are real costs that account for the teachers, therapists, paraprofessionals, and small class sizes necessary to help these children experience success; services these students are entitled to by law.

At Otto Specht School, it is our mission to meet our students based upon their therapeutic and educational needs regardless of their economic means. The Otto Specht School Fund for the Accessibility and Affordability of Education provides scholarships and tuition deferrals for many of our families.

On this #GivingTuesday please consider making your tax deductible contribution and providing the possibility of meaningful education for students who need and deserve a place to learn and grow.

In recognition of your giving:

Donations of $250 or more will be acknowledged AND THANKED as sponsors of our upcoming Holiday Fair and Craft Sale!

All #GT donations will shine on our Giving Tree. Thank you gifts include NEW LOGO sweatshirts and more! For details, go to Holiday Sponsors page HERE
