Many Ways to Give This Season! Find What Works for You
| As we move into the final weeks of the year, we’re reminded once again how much your support makes possible. Every gift, whether it’s time, resources, or advocacy, helps ensure children, families, and child care providers have what they need to thrive. This week, we’re highlighting the many ways you can contribute to BrightSpark’s mission before the year ends. We know that each family and supporter gives in the way that works best for them, and we are grateful for every form of generosity. |
Ways to Give Before December 31st
| Make a one-time gift: A single contribution at year-end strengthens our ability to respond to the most pressing challenges facing early learning right now, from program funding gaps to provider shortages. Become a recurring donor: Monthly giving provides dependable support all year long. These steady contributions help us sustain community programs, advocate for equitable access, and show up consistently for families. You can also check here to see if your company offers payroll donations or a matching gift, which can stretch your impact even further! Give a gift of stock: If this year has been financially strong for you, a stock donation may be a meaningful way to deepen your impact. Gifts of appreciated stock can offer potential tax advantages and allow you to contribute to the work you care about while receiving a charitable acknowledgement for this tax year. |

No matter how you choose to give, your generosity helps build the kind of child-centered, antiracist early learning communities that all children deserve. Together, we’re creating a brighter, more equitable future for families across our region.
Thank you for being part of this work and for lifting up our community in the ways that feel right for you.
With gratitude,
The BrightSpark Team
