Investing
Spark Ventures views those who contribute to the organization as investors: investors in the mission and vision of Spark Ventures, investors in Spark’s partner organizations that are helping vulnerable children to achieve their potential, and ultimately investors in the future of our world.
Spark Ventures is first and foremost investing in partner organizations that help vulnerable children around the world achieve their potential. Spark invests in partner organizations by providing leadership development and training, by assisting with infrastructure and organizational development and through financial contributions to the operating budgets and expansion of the partner’s work.
Spark Ventures understands the return on investment to be measured not by economic profit, but by achievement of the mission: through partnerships, to help vulnerable children reach their potential.
Return on Investment
Spark Ventures measures the return on investments by tracking the numbers of children who are now receiving shelter, food and education through partner organizations. Spark measures the return on investment by benchmarking improvements and growth in areas of health and learning. Spark measures the return on investment by documentation of financial responsibility and partner accountability. And Spark measures the return on investment by the ability of our partner organizations to grow and sustain their work through hosting volunteer travel, coordinating new or grwoing programs, and by identifying local investors and establishing local revenue generating initiatives.
