Mission

A long-form commitment.

Mission

What we are for

The Quartz Foundation exists to direct private capital toward the quiet, structural needs of children and the natural world. We support nutrition, mental and physical wellbeing, health innovation, and the conservation of land and sea.

We give where giving is needed and where giving is not loud.

Theory of change

How change happens

We believe durable change comes from durable relationships. We choose partner organisations carefully, fund them for years rather than cycles, and stay close to the work.

We do not require branding rights. We do not require press releases. We measure by what changes in the lives of the people and the ecosystems we are committed to.

Principles

How we operate

Independence. Patience. Discretion. Reporting without spin. One hundred percent of donations passing through to charitable purposes, with operating costs covered personally by the chair.
