Financial health

We do not score finances when yearly spending is very small or the return has too little detail. The ratios stop meaning much at that size.

Impact evidence

Describes programs. Its tax return describes what it does but we have found no measurable results in it.

Programs described in its return (2)
  1. $9,700 spent. SoulSpark Learning served as fiscal sponsor for WingFlower Wellbeing. They provide wellbeing services for educators who could otherwise not afford them in line with SoulSpark Learning?s mission. The wellbeing services included sessions with a Cherokee indigenous healer, meditation trainings, coaching sessions, lymphatic drainage and acudetox.
  2. $7,098 spent. SoulSpark Learning continues to provide high quality professional learning to educators. Our team spoke at education conferences, community events and on podcasts on topics related to human development, equity, neurodiversity, cultural and linguistic responsiveness, mental health and exemplary instructional practices. This includes at the National Association of Gifted Children's Annual Teacher Summit. This year SoulSpark Learning piloted a new Parent/Caregiver Neurodiversity Support Group in response to community feedback. According to survey feedback, the programming was well received. Caregivers report the programming positively transformed parenting (or caregiving) practices and nurtured feelings of belonging among individuals who previously felt isolated. SoulSpark Learning also continues to refine and enhance our library of community resources and advocacy pieces. The nonprofit also continued our collaboration with the nonprofit Gifted and Talented Leaders of Color and Allies. Last fall, we partnered for the second year in a row at an event to support educators across Colorado. In 2024, SoulSpark Learning expanded educator well-being programming and hosted several free, in person educator well-being events that included an array of services, resources and tools.
