Founded by James Gould, Spark is an organization with a mission to guide and support students in finding their voice, telling their story and changing the world through the craft of documentary filmmaking. Spark is in the midst of a campaign to raise $23,500 by January 31, 2020 to launch its spring and summer programs: (1) Spark - Film Series, where award-winning documentary filmmakers will screen their film with the students in schools and create a real and honest dialogue about the film topic; (2) Spark - Media Program, which enables students to make documentary films about a topic they are most passionate about; and (3) Spark - Film Festival where student films are showcased to the larger community. Any donation amount is helpful and greatly appreciated. BCAA is proud to be the Fiscal Sponsor for Spark. Our Fiscal Sponsorship program entitles individual artists and cultural organizations without 501(c)(3) status to apply to funders and solicit tax deductible donations under the auspices of Boulder County Arts Alliance, Inc., a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Fiscal Sponsorship is essentially a re-granting program for grant awards and contributions to specific pre-approved artists or organizations intended for purposes directly related to BCAA's purpose: To provide leadership and resources for arts organizations, artists, educators, and the community of Boulder County.
