About Fundación Quark
Knowledge as a tool for a fuller life.
Fundación Quark is a private, nonprofit foundation based in Chile. We work so that knowledge, science, technology, education, and culture expand what people are able to learn, create, and achieve.
Our purpose
For every person to have a real opportunity to learn, develop, and build their future, regardless of their origin or circumstances.
How we are structured
One foundation, a laboratory, and projects with their own identity.
Each layer has a different role. This keeps our institutional purpose clear while allowing every initiative to grow, learn, and demonstrate its own results.
