Thank you to all who made 20 Days of Spark Northwest a success by reading along, making a donation, or joining for an event. Despite being virtual, it was a wonderful gathering of the community that has created Spark Northwest over two decades. Over 1200 folks participated online, and we had ~116 event participants! With everyone pitching in, we exceeded our goal and raised just over $57,000. Here’s a recap of some favorite moments from the month.

20th Anniversary Celebration— It was wonderful to have Spark Northwest supporters come together to wish us a happy twentieth and to share your vision for a more just energy future. Thank you to all who participated, shared memories, and took time out of the evening to celebrate! If you missed it, catch some of the action with this short video of stories from amazing program partners sharing the impact of their collaboration with Spark Northwest.

Communities on the Front Lines of Climate Change Webinar— Combining a few of the topics that are most relevant to our work, Spark Northwest Project Manager Tarika Powell led a lunch & learn webinar looking at the disproportionate impacts of climate change on marginalized communities, disparity loops, and how this connects to deconstructing barriers to clean energy. It was a great conversation- please let us know what topics you’d like to see in future webinars! Rewatch Tarika’s webinar below-

Energizer Launch & Giveaway— October marked the launch of Spark Northwest’s Energizer program for monthly donors. By supporting Spark Northwest’s work with a monthly donation, Energizers power Spark Northwest to generate equitable clean energy across the Northwest in an ongoing way. Plus, two lucky new Energizers won a solar panel and a book! Thank you to all who signed up and participated in the giveaways. We’re excited to create change together.
