ABOUT SPARK MICROGRANTS

Spark Microgrants believes in a world where everyone lives with dignity and determines their own positive future. Decades of prescriptive aid have sidelined the poor from the very programs meant to uplift them. We believe in local solutions and catalyzing rural villages facing poverty into action.

At the heart of Spark’s model, the Facilitated Collective Action Process (FCAP), are ‘town-hall’ style weekly meetings, in which women, men, young, old, plan together for their community’s future. Each village elects a leadership committee, establishes a village savings account, and launches a project of their choice. Members receive training on financial management, transparency, leadership, village planning, and advocacy.

Spark trains partner organizations and works with governments to scale the FCAP as the model of choice to advance social and economic development, improve lives, and secure lasting change. Spark is now active in 500+ villages in 6 countries, improving the lives of over 500,000 people.

In Ghana, Spark has partnered with Advocates for Community Alternatives to help communities living in mining areas to advocate for their rights and hold the mining companies accountable for any damages caused while boosting their livelihoods and social cohesion. Since 2017, a total of 22 communities have benefited from FCAP and another 100 communities will benefit from the same process between 2023 and 2025.

As a team, we share a set of common values that shape how we work. These are:

Facilitators. We don’t impose; we enable others to generate impact.
Community-driven. We are motivated by what is best for the community.
Process-centered. The how of what we do is just as important as the what.
Authentic. Our vision and values live in everything we do.
Dynamic. We seek opportunities and are willing to take risks to serve our community partners better
