FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Sparklight Awards $6,500 Charitable Giving Fund Grant to Pecos Valley Public Services
ROSWELL, N.M. (July 10, 2025) – Individuals who face barriers to medical care will soon have greater access to needed help and prescriptions, thanks to a $6,500 grant awarded to Pecos Valley Public Services by Sparklight® through its Charitable Giving Fund.
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 education, the funding will help advance essential services that uplift lives and strengthen communities.
Pecos Valley Public Services will use the grant to help obtain a pharmacy license for a mobile healthcare project being deployed over the next 12 months.
“At Sparklight, we believe everyone deserves access to essential healthcare,” said Jay Macleod, Sparklight Senior Regional Director, Southwest. “Through our Charitable Giving Fund, we’re proud to support Pecos Valley Public Services in this innovative initiative. By helping bring care and medications directly to those in need, we’re creating a healthier, more resilient community.”
“We are honored to receive a Sparklight Charitable Giving Fund grant to help us develop our project,” said Michaela Merz, Pecos Valley Public Services Executive Director. “Residents in remote or underserved areas often face barriers to medical care. This program will allow us to bring real-time medical consultations and dispense needed medications to individuals in the field — bridging critical care gaps, reducing strain on emergency resources and improving health outcomes. We’re deeply grateful for Sparklight’s commitment to strengthening community health through forward-thinking partnerships like this one.”
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.
