Every dollar makes a difference when it comes to igniting the SPARK for innovation, funding, and implementation of projects benefiting children in our community.
MAKE AN IMPACT
BOO! Project jump-started our year-end fundraising with an incredible $13,000 raised! We have a goal of raising $7,000 more by the end of the year. Make a Giving Tuesday or year-end donation to Fuse Project to help us reach our goal, and your contribution will be MATCHED by The Daniel Foundation of Alabama.
Your support will allow us to continue advancing equity in education, as we believe that all children deserve access to transformational and equitable learning opportunities. Throughout the school year we continue bridging educational disparities for teachers and students through our ABC Academic Support Program. This program operates in three Mobile County Public Schools located in the Avenue—Florence Howard Elementary, Calloway-Smith Middle School, and Pathway K-5—and provides supplemental resources such as academic and extracurricular clubs, student incentives, mentoring programs, and teacher appreciation events. Your investment will also help fund our 3rd annual SPARK Summer Camp for six weeks filled with engaging STEAM activities. Together, we can make a lasting impact in the lives of local children!
Thank you to The Daniel Foundation of Alabama for generously awarding us with this challenge grant.

LIGHT THE FUSE CALENDAR OF EVENTS
Fuse Project’s annual fundraising campaign, Light the Fuse, seeks to engage the community and raise awareness of our mission through a series of public and private events, a fundraising challenge, and more.
We know that poverty, and the crushing lack of opportunity associated with it, is an intergenerational phenomenon impacting far too many Mobilians. Fuse Project, in partnership with The Historic Avenue Foundation, is on a mission to close the opportunity gap for children in our community, but we cannot do it without YOU. Working together with community members, our goal is to innovatively meet the needs of the community, catalyze transformational change, and break the cycle of generational poverty. Not only does this improve well being and quality of life for neighborhood residents, it also impacts far beyond the property lines to provide upward economic mobility for the neighborhood.
You can help us Light the Fuse by partnering with us for a fundraising event, attending a fundraising event throughout the year (see our Events tab), or becoming a sponsor or Friend of Fuse (annual partner program). Donations can be made by check, online, and via stock transfer. *Pro Tip* donations made in someone's honor make an excellent holiday gift. We have big goals for 2024 and you are the fuel to make it all happen!
