Sparklight Awards $2,500 Charitable Giving Fund Grant to Hopeful Horizons
BEAUFORT, S.C. (Aug. 6, 2025) – To support survivors in need, Sparklight® has awarded a $2,500 grant to Hopeful Horizons through its Charitable Giving Fund. Funds from Sparklight will support Hopeful Horizons’ project to digitize historic client records, enhancing continuity of care and improving support for those affected by child abuse, domestic violence and sexual assault.
This spring, Sparklight awarded more than $125,000 in grants to 27 nonprofit organizations across the cities and towns it serves. From children’s advocacy programs and mental health services to food banks and emergency response providers, the funding will help advance essential services that uplift lives and strengthen communities.
“Sparklight is proud to support organizations like Hopeful Horizons, which play a vital role in improving lives right here in Beaufort,” said Jane Shanley, Sparklight Senior Regional Director, Southeast. “These nonprofits are the heartbeat of our neighborhoods, and we’re honored to help amplify their work through the Charitable Giving Fund.”
Secure digital access will allow Hopeful Horizons’ team to respond more quickly and effectively to client needs while maintaining the highest standards of privacy, reducing administrative burdens and ensuring the long-term preservation of critical data.
“We truly appreciate Sparklight’s support of our digitization project,” said Julia Haddick, Chief Development Officer at Hopeful Horizons. “This investment will help us provide even more responsive, confidential care to survivors while enabling us to preserve essential records and demonstrate our impact to those who support our mission. Together, we’re working to provide safety, hope and healing for those who need it most.”
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 million in grants to more than 250 nonprofits that make a difference in the lives of those they serve.
Nonprofit organizations may apply for a grant during open application periods each spring and fall. Applications for the fall 2025 cycle will be accepted October 1–31, 2025.
