Firelight Foundation

Firelight is a multi-donor public charity fund that raises money from foundations, individuals and institutions to support community-based organizations (CBOs) in eastern and southern Africa. Firelight supports catalytic community-based organizations that are working with their own communities to build smart, sustainable, and potentially scalable solutions to the challenges faced by children and youth in eastern and southern Africa.

Headquartered in the San Francisco Bay Area, Firelight’s core program team is based in southern and eastern Africa and is supported by a global Board of Directors and Advisory Council. Through flexible, long-term funding, Firelight supports community-based organizations (CBOs) with technical, organizational, and programmatic capacity building.
