Form 990, Part III, Line 3

“Join the Journey transitioned to a cohort model of how it services beneficiaries - leveraging a multi-pronged system of a Business Boot Camp, starter capital infusion, six virtual coaching sessions, and then a more substantial business loan - all implemented through our partner Spark Zambia on the ground in Lusaka. The cohort model allowed for a programmatic process of recruiting, onboarding, and issuing capital in a manageable way.”

Form 990, Part IX, Line 11G

“Fees paid here included support services such as accounting, social media, and program coordination that ensured for the external communication and overall functioning of the program.”

IRS990/Desc0Women Empowerment- The organization executed its flagship program Spark Biz in Zambia, providing loans and coaching to 84 beneficiaries. Our implementing partner, Spark Zambia, was able to use repaid loans from 2021 to provide loan funding to the majority of these beneficiaries - to include a graduate group of 10 beneficiaries who received loans equitable to $500. The organization supplemented this with $6500 grant funds to be used for loans. The success of these women business owners in the program helped benefit another 2,500 people either directly related to the beneficiaries or community members that had greater assess to goods and services to sustain their daily lives. This program features our intentional coaching where U.S. business leaders were able to impart wisdom on a weekly basis through Zoom.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0Spark Coach Program - As both a component of but also a separate accomplishment, the organization was able to recruit, train, and provide connections for meaningful volunteer service for 50-plus business leaders. These leaders would speak to our entrepreneurs in Zambia via Zoom on six set topics for each cohort: values, value proposition, sourcing, partnership, marketing, and family balance. Individuals participating felt a deep connection with the work taking place in Zambia, grew in their mutual respect for lives in Zambia, and were able to add value from their respective expertise. Our Spark Coach program continues to be a hallmark for meaningful service and mutual benefit for our program on the ground.
