This year, Spark will welcome 25 young professionals to become the 4th cohort of Champions.

- Conduct their own, creative fundraising activities
The Champions Program will be conducted in different locations in San Francisco every 3- weeks and covers basic principles of fundraising including:
- Money & Meaning
- Making the ask (Getting past the fear!)
- Event Planning
- Peer to Peer, Crowdsourcing
- Major Gifts
- Corporate Partnerships
Program workshops will be conducted every 3 weeks, ensuring consistent engagement and sufficient time to meet participants’ goals. Between the workshops, participants will be personally supported by mentors. The Champions Program will conclude with a special, exclusive Champions celebration plus recognition at Spark’s Black & Pink Ball, our signature event with 500 young professionals.

The comparative value of a fundraising training of this kind could be as much as $2,500.
