About us

Daen Foundation was created in 2023 to address some of most acute social problems, especially those right on our doorstep.

Our approach has always been to galvanize our network of donors, friends and partners, and inspire them to make a difference. We have put our shoulders to the wheel, serving the communities we work with, to the best of our ability.

We are an independent charitable organization and rely on our generous supporters to fund our work.

Through inspiring supporters, innovative fundraising events and powerful partnerships, we have supported over 50 charities.

We have built a reputation for forming deep relationships with our charity partners, offering funding and additional assistance to help further their mission.

In 2024, we launched The Butterflies Project, a new grassroots initiative focused on children and young people living in poverty. This program will provide funding, raise awareness and facilitate partnerships to ‘turbo charge’ these smaller charities and help reach more people.

We find, fund, and support small frontline charities that are well-positioned to make a big difference.

Unrestricted funding

To invest in expanding their internal capacity and operations, preparing them for long-term sustainable growth.

Tailored support

To provide the infrastructure needed to increase the number of young people they support and enhance their impact.

Untapped connections

To build a broader base of supporters who will amplify their cause and sustain their growth beyond our funding.

Our sponsors program

Our Sponsors are leaders committed to making social change and inspiring and influencing the next generation of philanthropists by using their skills, funds, and time to scale life-changing frontline charities. These remarkable individuals share our dedication to addressing the root causes of child poverty.

And through volunteering and attending due diligence visits, meetings, and fundraisers, we ensure they see their impact firsthand

Our fundraising approach

Everything we do is driven by our commitment to supporting our charity partners and enhancing young lives - particularly through our approach to income generation. Unlike traditional funders, we operate without an endowment, which allows us to proactively secure our financial resources.

This innovative spirit empowers us to adopt a social entrepreneurial approach, ensuring we fulfill the promises of The Butterflies Project.
