STOKE THE SPARK FOR YOUR NON-PROFIT

We want to help you add a little more good to the world.

Your non-profit organization (or one that you know, love, and support!) is doing incredible and important work for people, place, and planet. But after your organization’s commitments and priorities are handled, it has limited financial resources available for marketing and strategy. So you keep your nose to the grindstone and you focus on your organization’s grassroots efforts—and you hope that you’ll have enough funding for professional marketing help someday soon.

Well…what if that someday was today?

It Started with a Spark in Tibet

When our founder, Julie, visited Tibet for the first time in 2015, the compassion and generosity of the people she had the honor of connecting with transformed her. A long-standing relationship with the region was sparked. The results included women-only pilgrimage tours, a foundation to provide education scholarships to young Tibetan and Chinese women, and volunteer consulting for women entrepreneurs. Strengthening her understanding of the Tibetan language and dharma traditions became essential, so she reached out to the Tibetan Language Institute to take classes. Call it coincidence or a nudge from the universe, Julie saw an opportunity to support this small, influential non-profit with expert marketing help. The dramatic and immediate success achieved was what inspired the Liquid Spark team to develop this Give Back program.
