Nonprofit Overview
Causes: International, International Relief
Mission: Firelight builds the capacity of catalytic community-based organizations that are working with their communities to realize smart, sustainable, and potentially scalable community-driven systems change for children and youth in eastern and southern Africa.
Results: During Firelight’s almost 20 years of grantmaking, we have made 1600+ grants, totaling more than $24+ million, granted in 12 African countries, supported 365 community-based organizations (including many Community Grantmakers), raised $33 million since 2010, and impacted millions of children, parents, caregivers, professionals, and community members. In the last year alone, with Firelight’s support, our grantee partners provided holistic support to just over 67,000 children, 19,000 parents and caregivers and 39,000 community members.
Target demographics: Firelight finds, funds, and strengthens catalytic community-based organizations (CBOs) that are working with their communities to address significant gaps and challenges for children in sub-Saharan Africa. Our approach is founded on our experience and evidence that communities can best determine and sustain the change they want to see and that CBOs are best placed to support communities in this way.
Geographic areas served: Eastern and Southern Africa
Programs: Firelight builds the capacity of catalytic community-based organizations that are working with their communities to realize smart, sustainable, and potentially scalable community-driven systems change for children and youth in eastern and southern Africa.
