Frequently Asked Questions
What is a sugarlump?
When you love who you are and use your creativity for kindness, your 💖 sparkles ✨ with love and joy. That feeling is a sugarlump. It scatters like ☀️ until everyone is covered in kindness.
Who is involved?
Kids/families Grades K-6 elementary age to participate in character, confidence and positive development through creative acts of kindness, sharing, and experience self-worth and the joy in the power of giving.
Local elementary schools help introduce sugarlump’s character/confidence building programs as the primary source of kids to participate. Sugarlump donates a portion of the total funds raised from sponsors to each school that participates based on total number of classrooms in their school involved in the sugarlump program. Participation of the classroom requires only the introduction of the sugarlump “Kindness Programs” opportunity to their students, who intern share with their parents.
Local businesses, city, fire, police departments, pretty much anyone in the local chamber of commerce to sponsor and support sugarlump’s “Kindness Programs” by posting sponsorship provided signs and engagement stickers for the kids to seek in their treasure hunt throughout town, scan for their secret “Kindness Mission”. When the mission is completed the kid and their family return to the business to redeem their certificate of accomplishment and photo or video proof for a collectable “Kindness Charm” (supplied by sugarlump) and a prize from the business (chosen by the business) to support and reward the kid’s efforts and attendance to their businesses twice. The sugarlump sponsorship investment is community participation bringing local families into their businesses while supporting local schools.
How are the Sponsor’s Fees Used?
Sponsor’s funds support the following:
· Sugarlump’s personnel, operational and materials costs for the kid’s challenges including all collateral, charms and digital experiences.
· School’s participation fundraiser donation is to be used at the school’s discretion; suggested it’s used for each of the classrooms that participate for enhancing the joy of school and learning.
As a Sponsor or Parent can I Select which School or Classroom gets My Fee?
Not directly, the donation funds are divided equally with all the classrooms who participate. We suggest you and neighbors help induct any schools and classrooms that are special to you and your family to join the sugarlump “Kindness Program”.
How Can I Induct My Child’s Classroom/School?
We suggest you share our sugarlump video for schools on our webpage (URL here) to your child’s teacher and/or principal, the process is very simple to have the school/classrooms become involved with sugarlump directly from our website (URL here).
How Many “Kindness Projects” are there to Search for in the Community?
Every Sponsor by location will have a personal custom AR code with a task (some tasks may be similar) but every sponsor will have a unique award/prize and charm. Sponsor’s will be added throughout the year and posted on the sugarlump sponsor page with their locations as they join the treasure hunt.
What if I My Community Does Not Have a Sugarlump Program?
Sugarlump is growing and that growth is organic, if you have a sugarlump program in your community you can become involved as a sugarlump parent through the growth of schools/classrooms/sponsors simply through your connections and sharing the sugarlump program. If there is NOT a sugarlump program in your community contact us (email here) to get a sugarlump community Start Up kit and interview.
Are Parents Involved with the kids “Kindness Projects”?
Sugarlump was designed to involve parents and kids activities together, not parents doing the “Kindness Projects” but sharing in their child’s character growth and joy in the reward and joy of personal character development and accomplishment. “Kindness Projects” are designed to create joyful memories for the kids, but also family’s memories in their sugarlump togetherness. 😊
