It is the mission of Spark Project, Inc DBA Spark Project Collective to implement new and innovative strategies to utilize a billion-dollar industry in tattooing and body piercing to generate revenue to go towards funding programs and activities that benefit our local community. We provide a service, (tattoos, piercings, permanent makeup, etc.) that millions of individuals already get around the world, then take the proceeds that we earn to run our event center. Our event center provides programs such as art therapy for children with disabilities, homeless drives, toy drives for children within foster systems and dedicated support groups for members of our community. As a community-based non-profit, we plan on expanding our services by creating programs on our own or partnering with other non-profits that share our core values. In order to manage our programs and finances in the most beneficial way for helping our community, we want to build from previous failures and successes, without settling into a comfort zone of being complacent. As the first non-profit tattoo shop, we demand the highest quality of service and ingenuity from all our employees and volunteers. Spark Project, Inc. is here to make a positive difference in our community, but we understand that we can’t do that by following the footsteps of everyone else. For us to achieve the unbelievable and to create new ideas and concepts that allow everyone involved to pay it forward daily, we hold ourselves accountable to continue pushing boundaries and challenging ourselves. Every dollar that we earn or are donated will be put to maximum use in the most practical manner. In our efforts to build partnerships with local community groups, we will help each other promote each other, so we all gain from each other’s exposure within the community, creating a cycle of revenue streams that benefit the whole community at large. Our understanding is that as individuals, we can only make a marginal difference, but as a community, we can make a significant difference in people’s lives. As such, we are committed to doing all that we can for our community.
