Testimonials

“SparkYouth gives The Lawrence Foundation the opportunity to support multiple, high-impact, community-based organizations at once - incredible organizations that might otherwise be hard for us to identify with our small team. And because of SparkYouth’s model, we have the assurance that each of these programs has been carefully vetted and is given the operational support they need to become stronger, more sustainable organizations.”

“Supporting SparkYouth makes perfect sense for GTIS.

Through their corporate partnership model we’re able to offer high-value volunteer opportunities for our employees while making a tangible impact right here in our community.

We love SparkYouth.”

"What’s different about investing in SparkYouth is that I get to see the direct impact of my dollars every time I visit a program.

And the growth and scale they help these organizations achieve is incredible."

"I give to SparkYouth because it’s smart philanthropy.

Their model, which operates like venture capital for nonprofits, invests in the very best youth development programs in NYC that are poised to grow and reach more kids. They’re able to leverage my donation for incredible returns for young people."
