SparkRise® is a technology platform that serves a community.
The SparkRise® community is made up of Causes, Sponsors, Influencers and Fans.
SparkRise® is a for-profit corporation that contracts with Sponsors to launch Campaigns.
Causes benefit from Campaigns that run on SparkRise®.
Sponsors contribute funds to Causes when they engage in Campaigns.
Influencers reach out to their networks to bring awareness to Campaigns and the associated Causes and Sponsors.
Fans engage with Campaigns through watching videos, downloading coupons, sending preset messages, taking surveys or other steps as requested.
Sponsors choose Campaigns and Causes that align with their brands.
Sponsors choose SparkRise® as an alternative to traditional advertising that can run either as a substitute or complementary communications channel.
SparkRise® tracks engagements metrics during Campaigns and reports these to Sponsors.
SparkRise® collects fees from Sponsors pursuant to contracts.
The fees are significantly lower than those typically charged by professional solicitors raising funds for charities and philanthropies.
SparkRise® does not receive fees from Causes that benefit from Campaigns.
SparkRise® does not solicit funds for Causes.
Fans who wish to contribute funds to Causes should do so on their own and cannot do so on SparkRise®.
SparkRise® does not contract with Causes except for contracts generated automatically by Causes when, for example, a user downloads a logo.
SparkRise® provides tools to Sponsors as part of its services.
The tools provided by SparkRise® to Sponsors includes a template for an agreement between a Sponsor and a Cause to lay out the actions that Fans will be asked to engage in during a Campaign as well as the steps that the Cause might undertake to enhance the reach of the Campaign.
SparkRise® is not a party to agreements reached between Sponsors and Causes.
