Spark Partners
Spark Supporters are donors whose total giving is under $1,000, regardless of frequency.
Every contribution, no matter the size, directly supports students who are striving to break barriers. Whether it funds a flight to an internship or a semester’s worth of books, their contribution makes opportunity real for those who need it most.
Deeply grateful to many Spark Supporters, because of the large number of generous donors in this category, we are unable to list individual names.
