Sparklight, a provider of internet and cable services, is set to open applications for its Charitable Giving Fund, which began on April 1, 2024. The fund awards $250,000 annually in grants to 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations and will accept applications until April 30, 2024.
These grants will be distributed across communities served by Sparklight and its affiliated brands, including Fidelity Communications, Hargray, and ValuNet Fiber. The focus will be on areas such as education and digital literacy, hunger relief and food insecurity, and community development.
Last year, Sparklight provided grants to over 50 nonprofits, addressing various critical issues including teen suicide prevention, homelessness, poverty alleviation, and child advocacy.
Julie Laulis, the President and CEO of Cable One, expressed the company's commitment to supporting communities in need. She says that being a strong local partner is fundamental to their values, and they take pride in making a positive impact where they operate.
The Charitable Giving Fund is part of Sparklight's broader corporate social responsibility initiatives, which include supporting national organizations dedicated to education and diversity, partnering with the Special Olympics, planting trees through the Arbor Day Foundation, and contributing to Keep America Beautiful to aid communities across the U.S.
