About Mastercard Foundation

The Mastercard Foundation works with visionary organizations to enable young people in Africa and in Indigenous communities in Canada to access dignified and fulfilling work.

The Mastercard Foundation wants a world where young people are included and are thriving and their leadership and contributions matter. A future where young people are driving transformative change and achieving their full potential. We bring together the private sector, donors, young people, and civil society – to create effective systems and infrastructures, supportive policies, and an environment where young people can find work and entrepreneurs and small enterprises can succeed and grow.

A world where everyone has the opportunity to learn and prosper.
