What we do

At Firelight, we support communities to achieve their priorities for their children and youth.

How we do it

We cluster our grantee-partners in groups of 4 to 12 community-based organizations so that they can share knowledge and work together towards a common goal.

"The partnership with Firelight encourages us to put our vision and ideas on paper without being prescriptive. We get to decide how to move forward."

"Firelight has encouraged us to constantly engage our community members before we share our final proposals. We are learning that communities can greatly enrich funders with vital knowledge and offer lasting solutions."

"We look forward to a time when most donors see youth as experts of their issues. We have great ideas for ending poverty and promoting employment.."
