Holiday Gift Drive 🎁

Bring the Sparkle this Holiday Season!

Each year, The Sparkle Foundation steps in to brighten the lives of women and families who could use a little extra sparkle during the holidays. We seek nominations for single mothers and other hardworking women who, despite facing tough circumstances, continue to persevere with grace, thinking of others before themselves.

This holiday season, we have identified 94 deserving families who fit this description, and we’re just $8,000 away from reaching our goal to make their holidays truly magical. Can you help us bring joy and relief to these families?

  • A $50 Donation provides essential items for one child, including pants, socks, undergarments, toiletries, and a shirt.

  • A $100 Donation adds small comforts to the necessities for one child, such as toys, books, bedding, sporting goods, and additional clothing.

  • A $250 Donation supports a small family with basic necessities for a year, including groceries, pants, shoes, books, toys, housewares, and toiletries.

  • A $500 Donation delivers a holiday experience they will never forget, along with necessities for a year—complete with a holiday dinner, toys, books, a bicycle, kitchen supplies, towels, and much more.

With your help, we can lift the burden of the holidays for these families, ensuring they feel the warmth and joy they deserve. Together, let’s make this season unforgettable.

Together we really can make a difference, and teach our children to do the same.

The Sparkle Foundation’s mission is to make sure single mothers and children have a sparkle in their eyes. We help women because women rarely ask for help. We help children because they are many of times victims of circumstances. 

Enrichment Scholarships

Engaging children in sports and extracurricular activities is crucial.

Our Sparkle Enrichment Scholarship Program is crafted to support this goal. We offer one-time scholarships to children of single mothers, funding a variety of programs including sports, art, theater, tutoring, camps, music, dance, and technology. Additionally, we ensure proper allocation of funds by paying the providers directly.

This program runs year round AND IS currently accepting applications.

Enrichment Scholarships

Throughout the year, we provide one-time enrichment program scholarships to help children, primarily of single mothers, access programs they might not normally be able to attend.

To nominate a child for our scholarship program below.

How To Get Involved:

100% of donations go directly to women and children who are hand selected by SPARKLE, in whatever way best meets their specific needs, with dignity and purpose. Together we really can make a difference, teach our children to do the same, and allow those who receive SPARKLE assistance to ‘pay it forward’ later through helping others in need as well.

You have a chance to help, too! Your generous donation goes directly towards women and children in need. Never miss a chance to SPARKLE!

I was so surprised, I could not begin to show you how touched I was by you and your Foundation when I met you Tuesday, but was and am very overcome with love and peace and happiness by these gifts.

  • "We wanted to reach back out and extend a huge thanks for your generosity in supporting our students in Novato Unified with backpacks and school supplies. Prior to break last December, we reached out for support with backpacks and within less than an hour there was a response to find out more details about what exactly was needed. On Monday, January 4th, we were greeted with 144 backpacks, each one filled with supplies. The backpacks were distributed to all our schools and many are already in the hands of our students. We have received phone calls from Community Liaisons and Site Principals expressing their appreciation. On behalf of the students, staff, parents, and community in Novato Unified, we are very thankful for the generosity and responsiveness of the Sparkle Foundation. Your thoughtfulness is helping to remove barriers for students and families and is appreciated! "
