About us
Who we are
Quintessentially Foundation is on a mission to light up the lives of children and young people facing severe disadvantages in London. We are a proactive, grant-giving foundation dedicated to tackling child poverty and addressing the inequalities that exacerbate it. We do this by funding, supporting and scaling small frontline charities well-positioned to make a big difference.
Small frontline charities often have some of the best solutions to society's biggest problems. However, they are often overlooked and underfunded. So, through our flagship programme, ‘The Firefly Project', we scale our charity partners’ successful interventions for young people, tackling child poverty in all forms, by providing the charities with:
• Unrestricted grant funding
• Tailored organisational support
• Untapped networks and connections
We generate our own income through events, sponsorship and philanthropic donations and channel our resources into turbo-charging our fantastic charity partners to benefit children and young people facing systemic disadvantages ultimately.
