Founded in 1980 by a group of concerned parents, the Larkspur-Corte Madera Schools Foundation (SPARK) is a non-profit 501(c3) organization that raises money to support programs are at risk due to ongoing budget cuts. Today’s reality is that public schools in California are community funded and can no longer rely on state and local funding to provide a well-rounded education. SPARK raises over $1.5M per year for our three schools: Neil Cummins, Hall and The Cove through Annual Giving, business partnerships and fundraising events.
