June 22, 2026 — Sparklight, a leading provider of high-speed internet and mobile services, recently awarded more than $125,000 in grants to 28 nonprofit organizations across its footprint through the Sparklight Charitable Giving Fund.
The Sparklight Charitable Giving Fund provides $250,000 annually to nonprofit organizations focused on strengthening local communities through:
- Education and digital literacy
- Food insecurity
- Community development
This grant cycle, Sparklight also funded organizations working to serve vulnerable children, increase the independence of seniors, improve workforce readiness, expand access to technology and more.
“Across our footprint, nonprofit organizations are making a meaningful difference every day by addressing local needs and strengthening the communities we call home,” said Jim Holanda, CEO of Cable One, Sparklight’s parent company. “We’re proud to support their efforts through our Charitable Giving Fund and help expand the impact of their important work.”
Among this spring’s recipients is Southeastern Arizona Community Unique Services (SEACUS), which will use its grant to strengthen its home-delivered meal program, delivering nutritious meals and meaningful connections for some of the community’s most vulnerable residents.
“We are deeply grateful to Sparklight for its generous grant to our home-delivered meal program,” said Stephanie Nabor, SEACUS Executive Director. “For many of our clients, a meal delivery is more than food — it’s a lifeline that reduces isolation and provides reassurance that someone cares. This grant reflects Sparklight’s commitment to the well-being of our community and to those who need it most.”
Supporting long-term community impact
Since launching the Charitable Giving Fund in 2020, Sparklight has awarded more than $1.3 million in grants to more than 300 organizations dedicated to addressing local needs, expanding opportunity and strengthening communities across its footprint. The fund is one of the many ways Sparklight invests in the communities it serves, alongside associate volunteer efforts, local partnerships and other community initiatives.
How to apply for a future grant
Nonprofit organizations may apply for a grant during open application periods each spring and fall. Applications for Sparklight’s fall 2026 grant cycle will be accepted Oct. 1–31, 2026.
