Spark Grant Accountability Report

Accountability Report

When designing the Spark Grant program and application process we were trying to do things differently as a partner and as a funder.  We have written an initial accountability report that shares our intentions, the process undertaken and our reflections and learnings at this stage. You can access the full report at the bottom of this page.

Some key things we would like to share with you from this report are:

  • While applications were open we had 25 face to face or video consultations, 62% of which subsequently submitted  an application. 

  • Overall, we received 57 applications from 41 organisations during the six week application period.

  • All of the applications demonstrated insightful and passionate ideas and the majority met all of the assessment criteria.

  • We ran a strengths based assessment meaning we were looking for what was there instead of focussing on what wasn’t. 

  • After multiple staff assessments and discussions in order to refine our decision we stepped a series of questions to tease out how well an application met the assessment criteria and to create a shortlist of applications.

  • The Board made the final selection of six applications from a recommended shortlist.
