Students across the Prescott Unified School District will receive additional support thanks to a $5,000 grant awarded to the Prescott Unified School District Education Foundation by Sparklight® through its Charitable Giving Fund.
The grant will fund essential school supplies, clothing and food bags for students facing financial challenges.
During its recent grant cycle, Sparklight awarded more than $125,000 in grants to 25 nonprofit organizations across the cities and towns it serves. The funding supports families, fights hunger, expands education and builds vital skills while strengthening communities along the way.
“The Prescott Unified School District Education Foundation plays an important role in supporting students and families,” says Jay Macleod, Sparklight Senior Regional Director, Southwest. “Through our Charitable Giving Fund, Sparklight is proud to help strengthen programs that remove barriers to learning.”
Foundation Executive Director Paul Kirchgraber says the grant will help address growing needs.
“We deeply appreciate Sparklight’s support of our important programs,” Kirchgraber say. “Many families are facing increased financial hardships. This funding helps ensure that students who quietly struggle have access to the supplies and opportunities they need to participate fully in school. With Sparklight’s partnership, we can lift barriers and build student confidence and success.”
The company’s Charitable Giving Fund focuses on initiatives that create lasting, local impact, including education and digital literacy, hunger relief and community development. Since the Fund’s inception in 2020, Sparklight has awarded more than $1.2 million in grants to more than 275 nonprofits.
