Each school selected is given a goal of raising $5,000 for their park. Penny drives, bake sales, school carnivals, candy sales, spaghetti dinners, "buy a brick" drives, rummage sales and innumerable other events are staged to generate the funds. Classes volunteer to care for trees planted in the parks. Local businesses often help with in-kind contributions. Architects, landscape architects, artists and businesses are solicited for their professional contributions through the parents, spouses and teachers at the school.
The school district provides $5,000 for each park and is responsible for bidding & overseeing construction of the SPARK Park, as well as maintenance of the park after completion. They have also offered many other invaluable services, such as the printing of SPARK business materials, networking, and basic problem solving.
