Spark Information

Our Mission Spark seeks to advance gender equality by engaging the next generation in accessible forms of philanthropy. Our Strategy Community Building: Through its unique participatory membership, Spark cultivates a community of young professionals who are actively engaged in global women’s issues. Education: Spark educates its community on issues that impact women and girls through educational forums, volunteer opportunities, and international delegation trips. Advocacy: Spark engages our community to support policy initiatives which benefit women and girls both locally and globally. Grant-Making: Spark harnesses the philanthropic spirit of its community to raise money for and give capacity-building grants to grassroots women’s organizations that create positive social change in their communities. Our Values We envision a world where gender equality just exists. Where women lead solutions that impact them, gender norms are not the norm, and patriarchy is overturned. We envision a world where helping humanity is integral to the human experience. Where philanthropy isn’t seen as exceptional, but as a duty we have to each other and ourselves.
