How it works

Three steps. Zero overhead.

From classroom brief to funded project in under two weeks.

01

Schools post projects

Teachers describe the STEM project, budget, classroom impact, and timeline. No fundraising experience required.

02

AI matches donors

Sparki matches tech-savvy donors to projects that fit their interests, industry, and impact preferences.

03

Impact, tracked transparently

Donors see receipts, photos, and outcomes as the project ships. Schools focus on teaching, not reporting.
