How much impact could you have?
The following is an example of how someone could use the Spark Giving program to generate large donations to their favorite non-profit. For this example we will take a fairly common scenario where a person is going to sell their current home, buy a new one, finance the loan, get insurance and remodel the new home. For each of these categories they choose to use a Spark professional.
| Donation from selling current home with Spark Realtor: | $2,100 |
| Donation from buying new home with Spark Realtor: | $3,000 |
| Donation from financing the home with Spark lender: | $1,000 |
| Donation from insuring new home with Spark agent: | $500 |
| Donation from remodeling home with Spark contractor: | $4,000 |
| Total Donations to your favorite non-profit: | $10,600 |
Example donations based on selling a $350,000 home and buying a $500,000 home (both at .03 commission) with 20% pledge from Realtor. Financing and insurance donations based on flat fee pledge amounts. Remodel donation based on 20% of profit from a contractor earning $20,000.
Spark the difference.
