MasterCard Foundation

The MasterCard Foundation seeks a world where everyone has the opportunity to learn and prosper.

All people, no matter their starting point in life, should have an equal chance to succeed. We believe that with access to education, financial services, and skills training, people can have that chance.

At the Mastercard Foundation, we are driven by a belief that all people should have an equal chance to succeed, no matter where they started in life. To date, our programming has improved the lives of over 25 million people and millions more in their households.

Looking forward, our work is unified around the single most complex challenge that young people in Africa face — unemployment. Our goal is to enable 30 million young people to secure dignified and fulfilling work by 2030.
