The Lunchbox Fund
To provide daily, nutritious meals to vulnerable schoolchildren by funding and running community-based school nutrition programs—primarily in Southern Africa—so children can attend school, concentrate and learn.
About The Lunchbox Fund
The Lunchbox Fund is a U.S.-registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit (EIN 20-1232903) and a California nonprofit public benefit corporation that raises philanthropic support to operate school-feeding programs primarily in South Africa and neighboring countries. The organization partners with local suppliers, fieldworkers and community "Food Mama" cooks to source and prepare meals on-site, emphasizing community-led implementation and food-safety standards.
Founded and led by Topaz Page‑Green with an international team and local leadership in South Africa, The Lunchbox Fund runs large-scale feeding programs, publishes annual reports and maintains public tax filings. In recent years the charity has expanded its reach and operational controls (including food-safety audits and local compliance certifications) while reporting multi-million-meal impact figures and continued donor-facing fundraising activity.
