Quantedge Foundation (Singapore) is a philanthropic foundation established by the principals of Quantedge Capital, that focuses on improving upward social mobility for children and youth from low-income or vulnerable backgrounds across different life stages. They also support efforts to promote a more inclusive and caring society in Singapore, by raising awareness of vulnerable communities and seed-funding projects to meet their diverse needs.
Internationally, Quantedge Advancement Initiative (QAI) supports crucial global health and development efforts in vulnerable communities and advances urgent climate change action in Southeast Asia and beyond.
Being a young foundation here in Singapore, Quantedge Foundation has been a great role model to Li Foundation. Our first collaboration in the Early Childhood Development Research through the APC platform was a research carried out in Singapore, Philippines, Indonesia and China. LIF is also honoured to have them join us in the Inspiring Asia Film Festival with their film, Journey of Hope.

“Journey of Hope: Keeping Social Mobility Alive with Quantedge Foundation” stands as a testament to the transformative power of unwavering support and opportunity to enable every child in Singapore to work towards their dreams, no matter how big or small. Through the stories and reflections of children at Tak Takut Kids Club and award recipients of the University Access initiative, we explore Quantedge Foundation’s dedicated efforts in addressing the multi-faceted challenges to social mobility for children and youth with less favourable starting conditions, in a bid to uncover bold solutions to create lasting change.
The book showcases how the participants challenged their limits and conquered the World Marathon Challenge and North Pole Marathon to inspire people to challenge their own limits and pursue their dreams boldly.
The book tells the stories behind the event which saw the largest number of people in history running 1045km round Taiwan in 19 days.
