SparkWell is designed to help high-impact nonprofit projects test ideas, develop operational capabilities, and launch as independent entities. We provide a temporary home for a diverse range of promising initiatives.
We believe that we’re living through a transformational period in history. Catastrophic risks loom large, whether from climate change, factory farming, pandemics, nuclear or cyber warfare, or the misalignment or misuse of intelligent systems.
A transformational period in history warrants a transformation in philanthropy — and we want to give innovative projects the support they need to test their ideas and scale. We leverage our skills and experience with nonprofit operations to guide enrolled projects through a bespoke acceleration roadmap. Within 24 months, your project will graduate into an independent entity and operational best practices. This will put you in a position to scale your activities — and help mitigate the catastrophic risks facing us.
SparkWell offers 6-month, 12-month, or 24-month tracks to accommodate projects at different stages.
