UW SparkTank is the UW Ethics Club’s philanthropic effort to further the missions of nonprofits in the Laramie community. SparkTank’s goals are to serve the community through outreach, provide funds that “spark” the mission of local nonprofits, and increase the value of the college experience for club members by enabling them to participate in philanthropic endeavors. SparkTank works like “Shark Tank” where local nonprofits and groups in Laramie pitch what they would do with $10,000 in investment. After the pitch, the club’s members and officers vote on the cause or causes most worthy of the funding.
