The Sparkplug Foundation provides grants for a variety of nonprofit programs, including music, education and teaching, and grassroots organizing efforts. Funding is intended to build lasting infrastructure for carrying out the goals of music, education and community organizing work. This means the foundation tries to fund projects that build leadership rather than deliver services, and projects that create ongoing work rather than providing one-time opportunities.
