Fannin County, Texas -- To support children and youth in crisis, Sparklight® has awarded a $5,000 grant to Fannin County Children's Center through its Charitable Giving Fund. The organization provides a safe haven, critical support and advocacy for children who have experienced abuse or neglect.
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 Fannin County Children's Center, which play a vital role in improving lives right here in Bonham,” said Kenny Walker, Sparklight Senior Regional Director, South Central. “These nonprofits are the heartbeat of our neighborhoods, and we’re honored to help amplify their work through the Charitable Giving Fund.”
Funds from Sparklight will support the “Open Your Heart” campaign, which invites young artists to unleash their creativity while making a difference. The project encourages children to illustrate their favorite superhero stories, create new ones or imagine crossovers of different universes – fostering creativity, self-expression and community engagement.
“We truly appreciate Sparklight’s support of our ‘Open Your Heart’ campaign,” said Stephanie Garcia, Executive Director at Fannin County Children’s Center. “This partnership not only helps us keep children safe but also encourages them to express themselves, dream big and know their voices matter. Together, we’re building a community where every child feels valued and protected.”
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.
"We are deeply grateful for Sparklight's generous support and commitment to our mission," Garcia added. "This donation will touch the lives of the children and families we serve, and we're thankful for Sparklight's kindness and investment in our community's future."
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.
