Sparklight Awards $5,000 Charitable Giving Fund Grant
to Humboldt Education Foundation
PRESCOTT VALLEY, Ariz. (June 23, 2025) – Children and families struggling with food insecurity will receive critical support through a $5,000 grant from Sparklight® to the Humboldt Education Foundation. Funded by Sparklight’s Charitable Giving Fund, the donation will bolster the organization’s efforts to assist local elementary school students in need.
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 hunger relief and domestic violence prevention, the funding will help advance essential services that uplift lives and strengthen communities.
“Sparklight is proud to support organizations like the Humboldt Education Foundation, which play a vital role in strengthening our community,” said Jay Macleod, Sparklight Senior Regional Director, Southwest. “Through the Charitable Giving Fund, we’re honored to help amplify their efforts and make a meaningful difference in many more lives.”
The Humboldt Education Foundation will use the grant in its Hungry Kids Project, which provides weekend food packs for students in need so they can return to school on Monday well-nourished and ready to learn.
“We’re touched not just by Sparklight’s generosity, but their genuine concern for our mission,” said Jonathan Knight, Humboldt Education Foundation President. “Through Sparklight’s partnership, we can ease the strain on local families and ensure students have their basic needs covered so they can thrive.”
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, Cable One 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.
