Spark Microgrants

Spark works with communities, governments, and local organizations to catalyze sustained collective action in villages facing poverty by providing communities the resources and skills they need to design and implement a development project of their choosing — this could mean building a school, planting crops, starting a local business, or anything else the community feels best serves their needs. Through Spark’s Facilitated Collective Action Process (“the Spark Process”), communities are led through weekly meetings and trainings to organize, conceptualize and implement their chosen project and receive a microgrant to fund it.
