Spark Legacy Program

The Spark to Do Good

Spark Legacy ambitiously aims to change inequity in and exclusion from the financial system by reshaping our society’s understanding and appreciation of money.

By revolutionising the way everyday Australians understand money, enhancing the financial literacy of those most vulnerable and changing the perception of financial services leaders, Spark Financial Group believes inequity can be overcome. Similarly, we believe the financial industry can play a significant role in creating a better future for all.

But Why Now?

Action is needed now to reshape the world’s future, from saving our environment to eradicating financial disparity. We are at a crossroads but we have the information we need to make the right choice. With more businesses like Spark adopting some of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals as part of their Purpose, such as encouraging economic growth, along with addressing the needs of the vulnerable groups identified in Australian Government’s National Financial Capability Strategy that need financial literacy support, the time is now to make lasting change.

So How Can We
Make It Happen?

Spark Advisors empower individuals to live a meaningful life on their own terms whilst encouraging the financial industry to unite for a common good. We believe that it is possible to democratise access to money and financial advice, thereby ending systemic and general social inequity, while restoring trust in the financial industry. To achieve this, the Spark Legacy program has been designed around three pillars.

Hope

A centralised Public Ancillary Fund (PuAF) has been created, into which Spark stakeholders can donate & fundraise towards, along with collecting the profits from Spark Financial Group. These funds are donated to a host of charities whose purpose is to support vulnerable & disadvantaged young Australians. The PuAF is managed by three independent Directors and form the Spark Legacy Committee along with our Founder Arthur Kallos. The voluntary time provided by Spark Advisors towards these charities presents an opportunity for Spark Advisors to deliver positive changes at grassroots level in their own communities, raise awareness and help end systemic issues caused by a lack of financial literacy.

Advocacy

Through the creation of structured giving programs with selected charities, our Spark Advisors contribute to the wellbeing of young Australians who are vulnerable or disadvantaged. These programs are delivered one-on-one, one to many or via scale using Spark’s & partner technology platforms. With increased financial education and support, we hope to see a reduction in the rate of financial hardship, financial abuse and suicide and an increase in financial wellbeing.

Leadership

Investing in our relationships is the cornerstone of Spark Legacy. By putting our Spark Advisors at the top of our stakeholder list, we place greater importance on the sustainability of our Advisors rather than the profit for shareholders. This ethos ensures that the needs of our Advisors are placed first, along with their clients, who in turn support our structured giving programs. With the sum of effort generated from our organisation being 100% donated to charities, we fulfil the altruism needed to help establish Financial Planning as a Profession.
