Ways To Donate

We welcome corporate donations too.

Your donation is tax deductible. It will be fully used in programs to support the study of needy students and to improve school studying and teaching facilities. Many of the Chinese schools are very poor, with students still studying in dark, shaky, and dangerous classrooms, compared to the modern facilities we take for granted every day. You can reach us at help@sparkfoundation.us or send your donation to:

我们对贫困学生的资助直接影响到每个孩子的个人发展,我们看到的,对于被资助的孩子来说,个人生活中发生的变化要比周围的环境发生的变化更重要,我们所有的方案都为学生们提供了全方面健康发展的机会,包括身心健康,社会交往、经济资助等几个方面。

星火基金坚持“专款专用”的原则,制定了严格标准审核捐赠收入和支出,确保每一笔捐款只用于被资助人所指定的学生和被资助人认可的用途。

Our support to children has directly impacted each child's individual development. We've seen over and over that what happens in the life of a child that Spark Foundation supports is much more significant than what happens in the environment surrounding the child.

All of our programs provide opportunities that encourage healthy development in four areas — spiritual, physical, social, and economic.

Matching Gift CompaniesWe commit to the highest standards for the use of funds. We commit to use money only for the purpose for which it was raised. The funds must be used to support the children who are sponsored.

Thank you for your faithful giving. Your gifts make it possible for the children and families.


古丈始终是湖南榜上有名的贫困县,汉族在这里才是名副其实的少数民族。由于喀什特地貌对地表水源的渗漏性,可耕地稀少且一向农业产量低下。世代寻求温饱的梦想在改革开放以后,首先带来的便是大批青壮年的背井离乡。于是,村庄里的孩子,超过百分之八十是所谓的“留守儿童”。

圣地亚哥湖南同乡会每年的春节晚会都有一个保留节目---为家乡的乡村教育募集善款,帮助乡村学校增添各类教学用品。2016年春节晚会为古丈梅塔村小学教学点捐赠了幼儿教学用品和玩具。当地处古丈县大山里的的一群孩子们、腼腆而又兴奋地接过了崭新的书包和多彩的画笔,在刚刚组装好的五色滑梯上放声欢笑时,我想,大洋彼岸默默捐赠出善款的同胞,也许,他们期待的正是一个个这样的时刻……
