As a registered 501(c)3 organization, in addition to focusing our international programs, SPEAR provides fiscal sponsorship, increasing the availability of resources to local Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc.chapters and community based organizations (CBOs). This is so they can design and implement effective community service, public education, advocacy and social science research programs \u2013 to reduce poverty and improve quality of life for minorities, women and children. At SPEAR, we strive to increase access to granting agencies, foster community innovation and improvement, and encourage nonprofit sector experimentation. We extend full corporate and financial sponsorship to the projects we support.<\/p>\n
