Honoring the Past, Investing in the Future
One Vision. Four Partners. Lasting Sustainable Impact.
20 years ago, our co-founders took a trip to Zambia that ended up being the catalyst for the creation of Spark Ventures. Since that first trip 20 years ago, Spark has invested in sustainable solutions that empower communities around the world, partnering with grassroots organizations in Zambia, Nicaragua, Mexico and Chicago. We are honored to walk alongside our partners as they do transformative work in their communities.
We are inviting YOU to our 2026 Fall Gala to join us as we celebrate the trip that led to Spark Ventures, reflect on our partner organizations' impact, and raise funds to invest in their work so they can continue to create lasting change in their under-resourced communities. By attending, you will help further support the vision to provide more sustainable access to education, nutrition, healthcare and employment.
