MISSION:

Spark’s mission is two-fold. We aim to increase the overall investment in women’s organizations around the world and we aim to increase the number of young people who give to women’s causes now and plan to he long-term.

VALUES:

• We believe that investing in innovative, grassroots, women-led organizations can transform communities.
• We believe that investing a combination of money, time, and connections can have catalytic results.
• We believe that the aggregation of small gifts can have an impact on seemingly intractable problems.
• We believe that those addressing women’s equity and human rights should be diverse.
