Overview

Mission

Sparkpoint fosters community well-being rooted in connection

What it reported doing in 2025

SparkPoint expanded its organizational capacity and community impact during the year by growing its staff from two to five team members to support increased programming and regional collaboration. The organization hosted a Helene 1-year of healing anniversary event in partnership with the American Red Cross to strengthen disaster recovery coordination and collaboration among regional partners. SparkPoint also deepened relationships with key institutional supporters, including the American Red Cross, Vaya Health, Dogwood Health Trust, and the Pardee Hospital Foundation. As a result of expanded partnerships, programming, and community engagement efforts, the organizations annual operating budget approximately doubled compared to prior years, allowing SparkPoint to further invest in initiatives that support connection, resilience, and community well-being.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of total spending goes to programs. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
