Firelight is a nonprofit organization based in Santa Cruz, California, operating as a multi-donor public charity fund that supports community-based organizations in eastern and southern Africa. It funds local groups working with their own communities to develop smart, sustainable, and potentially scalable solutions to challenges facing children and youth. The organization gathers contributions from foundations, individuals, and institutions to support its partner CBOs.

Within the philanthropy and international development space, Firelight acts as a funder that enables grassroots-driven change rather than delivering direct services. In 2023, Firelight named Marième Daff as executive director, indicating a leadership transition at the organization. The group maintains a relatively small to mid-sized team focused on coordinating support for local partners across its regions of operation.
