The Spring must raise an additional $575,000 by July 14, 2027, to receive the challenge grant funding.The new headquarters will house the nonprofits administrative staff and provide dedicated space for its non-residential services. Those programs help survivors who need resources and support but do not currently need a place to stay.Incredibly excited for a couple of reasons. I think one, the biggest thing obviously is, like, its going to help us serve more people. Thats why we exist, Nettleton said.The expansion comes as The Spring serves an increasing number of people. Nettleton said the nonprofit saw a 57% increase in clients served last year.The organization believes the additional space will help it keep up with that growing demand.The new headquarters will also include a public donation center.Nettleton said The Springs main campus must remain private and secure to protect the people it serves. That has made it difficult for members of the public to drop off donations. The new Sand Springs location will provide a public place to accept those donations without compromising the security of the nonprofits main campus.Its a sign of trust that the community around us has, that they are bought into what were doing and they care about the people that we serve, which is always really gratifying, Nettleton said.The Spring is aiming to open its new Sand Springs headquarters in early 2027.
