SPARK is dedicated to raising funds needed to bridge the gap between the cost of a quality education and ending received by state and federal resources.
Founded in 1980 by a group of concerned parents, the Larkspur-Corte Madera Schools Foundation (SPARK) serves as the primary fundraising arm for the District. Run by parent volunteers, SPARK is committed to raising the funds for programs that are at risk due to ongoing budget cuts and supporting the teachers’ salaries needed to provide these programs. SPARK funds are needed to bridge the gap between the limited funding the District receives from Federal, State, and Local sources and what it actually costs for each child in the District to experience a quality education.
Our schools are community funded and depend on parents, family members, business partners, and other community members to support the education your children receive at Neil Cummins, The Cove, and Hall.
SPARK is a registered 501(c) (3) non profit. Tax ID: 94-2934350
SPARK’s mission is to help ensure that the children of Larkspur and Corte Madera receive an exceptional education by supporting an impressive variety and depth of programs. The Foundation does this by raising critical financial resources to fund both educators and other aspects of the curricula. SPARK strives to unite and include all parents and the community in pursuit of the worthy goal of the best possible education for all of our kids.
