SPARK MICROGRANTS

Spark offers a dynamic model for community organizing and granting. process taps into the knowledge and imagination of communities in need. Spark work with local facilitators (often university students or NGO leaders) with connections to under-resourced communities. With Spark guidance, the facilitator organizes a series of meetings where the community develops a project proposal. Spark arrange for comments on each proposal from field advisers. When proposals are well developed we help fund them with a microgrant of around $5000. Rather than come up with ideas to help a specific community from the outside.
