SPARTAN SUSTAINER
MONTLY MEMBERSHIP PROGRAM

We are thrilled to introduce the new Spartan Sustainer monthly membership program! This initiative aims to provide a sustainable and meaningful way for community members to make a lasting impact on Orono Schools in a convenient and ongoing basis.  

The Spartan Sustainer program is a tax-deductible monthly contribution to support Orono students and educators. The monthly membership allows you to donate easily with automatic payments through your credit or debit card, or direct withdrawal from your bank account. You will also receive a thank you gift associated with your monthly giving amount.

All donations through the program go into the OFE Annual Fund which is invested back into Orono Schools each year to help maintain critical programs, enhance classroom resources, and support innovative initiatives to advance student learning. Examples include K-8 Spanish, K-5 Literacy, Advanced Placement, Character Counts!, new instruments for performing arts and new equipment for robotics programs and engineering classes.

Please consider a monthly contribution and join the community of Spartan Sustainers!
