IRS990/Desc0Membership & Community - From January through March of 2020 Spark was thriving. Membership had grown an extra 30 members. In March of 2020, we had to close our doors due to the global COVID pandemic. When Connecticut passed Phase 1 business protocols, Spark worked with the Office of Economic Development to safely reopen its facilities with limited and scheduled access. Spark leadership developed workshop-specific safety protocols and created a booking system. Spark leadership continued to focus on sustainability and how Spark could fulfill its mission despite the challenges. The crisis created an opportunity for more in-depth conversations relevant to DEI, to write our equity statement and make plans for implementation.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0Education - From January through March of 2020 Spark was thriving. Our communal workshops and in-person hands-on skill-based classes had expanded to an average of 5 a month. In March of 2020, we had to close our doors due to the global COVID pandemic. Spark pivoted to a virtual platform for all programming. The first priority was to go virtual with Electronics Night and Drawing Night and to start a meetup How-to-go-Virtual. How-to-go-Virtual helped the community stay connected, and made the virtual world less intimidating. With Spark members who were able to work virtually from home, Spark produced the first online skill-based classes and learning videos: 3- D Modeling (CAD), Patenting 101, Circuit Board Skill-Share, Making Fabric Face Masks, Community Print Lunch, Cricut Skill-Share, and Crochet Basics.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/Desc0Relocation - To accommodate growth and embrace the momentum, Spark and friends bought a historic 9,400 square foot commercial building on Union Street in New London which we are renovating for our permanent home. The building will be placed in service in the second half of 2021. All expenditures are capitalized.
