The Sparkplug Foundation is a family foundation, funded and administered in the US. We are guided by community voices, and prioritize grassroots organizing and innovation as the key for creating change.
Dissenters - Fall 2019 COMMUNITY ORGANIZING
We believe that communities are best qualified to say how funds should be used to make the change they need.
We try not to make demands of applicants and grantees that get in the way of their work, and are aware that many groups doing great work are new to grant applications.
We offer assistance and supportive feedback along the way, as best we can with a small staff.
We're continually looking for new ways to bring community direction to our grantmaking.
We highly encourage Black, Indigenous, People of Color, people with disabilities, women, lesbian, gay, bisexual, pansexual, transgender, queer and other queer-identifying communities, organizations or organizers to apply.
