HAPPY GIVING TUESDAY

Thanks for checking out our campaign! This year, we have two goals:

Raise money to fund STEM programs for over 2,500 Chicago students
Set a new SparkShop record for Giving Tuesday donors

Help us reach these goals by making a donation and sharing this campaign with a friend (or two or three)!

ABOUT SPARKSHOP

SparkShop brings hands-on STEM to 4th and 5th grade classrooms across Chicago! By exploring the engineering fields (mechanical, electrical, biomedical, environmental, and more!), our students become expert innovators, ready to solve big problems and shape our world.

SparkShop reaches students who have been excluded from STEM fields, including girls, students of color, and students from low-income backgrounds. Our programs are 100% free and accessible to teachers who need them most. This year, we are working with over 40 schools across Chicago!

GOALS & MATCHING

On this global day of giving, we’ve set two goals: raise $100,000 and engage with 250 donors! Generous donors will match your support to make both goals possible!

Raise $100,000: This money will support our free STEM programs for over 2,500 Chicago students. Your donation allows us to realize our vision: putting the highest-quality STEM program within reach for our students.
Match: Your impact of your donation is immediately doubled! A group of SparkShop donors have committed to donate a dollar for every dollar raised, up to $40,000!

Engage 250 donors: Since launching 7 years ago, we've had a loyal base of volunteers and donors that have supported our incredible growth in scale and impact. As we look forward, we want to expand our community and rally more support for our work!
Match: Every 10 unique donors unlocks a $1,000 contribution, up to $25,000! Whether you give $10 or $1,000, you help us get closer to unlocking this full amount!
