Our Mission

Founded in 2004, Enlight Foundation focuses on education equality and youth empowerment. For this decade, the foundation is focused on three primary pillars:  

  • Youth mental wellbeing,

  • Youth-driven climate change solutions,

  • Next-generation social change makers. 

To create systems change, the foundation invests in young people, elevates youth voices, and works collaboratively with other foundations, researchers, and nonprofits.

Our Approach

Enlight Foundation’s trust-based approach to philanthropy has several core tenets. 

 

  • Identify and invest in ambitious social entrepreneurs and bold ideas;

  • Provide flexible and multi-year  grants as catalytic capital to support pilots, research, and scale proven solutions;

  • Work together with grant partners to support shared learning and sustainability;

  • Collaborate with like-minded funders whenever possible for bigger collective impact.
