Spark WA Foundation
Spark WA Foundation is a community-powered nonprofit igniting meaningful change across Washington. We exist to bring people together — across generations, backgrounds, and experiences — to uplift one another and build stronger, more connected communities.
Through programs rooted in compassion, creativity, and collective action, we empower individuals to lead, serve, and grow. Whether it’s mentoring youth, organizing care drives, celebrating culture, or promoting wellness, Spark WA creates space for people to rise — together.
About Founder
Dishika Singh, the founder of Spark WA Foundation, knows firsthand the power of community — and what it feels like to go without it.
When she moved to the United States, she faced the challenges of adjusting to a new culture, navigating unfamiliar systems, and trying to build meaningful connections without a support network. Like many new arrivals, she had ambition and talent, but lacked access to mentorship, opportunity, and community.
Through resilience, self-learning, and the kindness of those who supported her along the way, Dishika began to rise — and realized how life-changing simple acts of care and guidance can be. That experience became the spark for a bigger vision: a nonprofit that brings people together across backgrounds to empower, uplift, and grow as a community.
Today, Spark WA Foundation is a place where anyone — from youth to seniors, from longtime locals to recent arrivals — can find connection, opportunity, and belonging. What started with one woman’s journey has grown into a shared movement of compassion and action.
A Message From Our Founder
“When I first came to the U.S., I was full of passion and hope — but like many, I didn’t have a roadmap. I learned how powerful it is when someone reaches out, believes in you, and walks beside you. That’s what Spark WA is all about.
It began with my story, but today, it’s about all of us — coming together to support, uplift, and create real change in our communities. Thank you for being part of this journey.”
Dishika Singh, Founder of Spark WA Foundation

Our Pillars of Impact
🧡 Community Care
We support families and individuals through hands-on volunteer efforts — food drives, hygiene kit distributions, neighborhood cleanups, and community relief. Every act of service strengthens the safety net and reminds people they’re not alone.
💚 Youth Empowerment
We invest in the next generation through mentorship, creative camps, and scholarships. By building confidence and leadership in young people, we’re creating a brighter tomorrow that starts today.

We bring people together through cultural celebrations, creative workshops, and local artist showcases. Whether it’s a community festival or art-for-impact event, we use creativity to connect hearts and honor diversity.
💙 Wellness & Inclusion
We promote mental and physical well-being through wellness workshops, fitness activities, and inclusive spaces for dialogue, support, and belonging. Everyone deserves to feel seen, safe, and supported.
Our Purpose
We believe that small sparks create big change.
Each story, each initiative, and each act of kindness contributes to a stronger, more compassionate Washington.
Our programs have empowered youth to lead, helped families find stability, and brought neighbors together through creativity and service. We collaborate with local schools, organizations, and volunteers to multiply our impact — and together, we are building a culture of care.
