The Sprout Society

The Sprout Society gives employees a way to take meaningful action in support of Richland students. By pledging 1% of your gross annual salary, you invest directly in scholarships, programs, and initiatives that make a real difference. Your commitment shows the power of employees coming together—when we step up, we give students the power to thrive.

Society Benefits

  • Additional raffle entry for campaign prizes
  • Exclusive Sprout Society Swag
  • Sprout Society Reception (Spring 2026)

As a founding member of the Sprout Society, your participation matters. You’re setting a standard, showing that employees care, and demonstrating the power of collective support. Together, we can create a culture where giving back is part of who we are as a community.
