Sparklight Awards $6,000 to Nampa Fire Protection District
NAMPA, Idaho (Jan. 13, 2025) – Sparklight®, a leading broadband provider, recently awarded a $6,000 grant to Nampa Fire Protection District through the company’s Charitable Giving Fund. The organization was one of 24 nonprofits across Sparklight’s 24-state footprint that received grants totaling more than $125,000 during the most recent award period.
The Charitable Giving Fund, which awards $250,000 in grants annually, concentrates support in the following priority areas:
- Education and Digital Literacy
- Food Insecurity
- Community Development
This grant season, Sparklight also extended support to organizations devoted to veterans’ outreach, elder care, afterschool programs, community safety, animal advocacy and more.
“Sparklight is proud to support the nonprofits that make a meaningful difference in our community,” said Amanda Moore, Sparklight Senior Regional Director Northwest. “These organizations are essential to strengthening the cities and towns we serve, and we are grateful for the opportunity to amplify their efforts. Together, we can bring vital resources and support to those who need it most.”
The Nampa Fire District will use the grant to purchase three Automatic External Defibrillators (AEDs) and launch its Community AED Program to better protect its 141,000 residents.
“The Nampa Fire Protection District is grateful for the $6,000 grant,” said Chief Kirk Carpenter, Nampa Fire Protection District. “Through Sparklight’s generosity, our community will gain additional access to AEDs. This equipment is key to survival if a community member is experiencing cardiac arrest. We appreciate Sparklight’s partnership and vision for this program.”
Nonprofit organizations may apply for a grant during open application periods each spring and fall. Applications for spring 2025 grants will be accepted between April 1-30, 2025.
