Mastercard Foundation is an international non governmental organization and registered Canadian charity that operates as one of the largest foundations in the world. Established in 2006 by Mastercard, it is based in Toronto, Canada, with additional offices in several African countries. The Foundation works with visionary organizations to enable young people in Africa to access meaningful and dignified work, with a focus on sectors such as education, agriculture, and the digital economy. In Africa it provides funding in the form of grants, and investment records show activity in Nigeria, supporting solutions in education technology and talent development. Its grantmaking in June 2023 included support for Nigerian companies Gradely and Schoola in the EdTech sector, and Schoolinka in HR and talent. Across its programs, the Mastercard Foundation emphasizes financial inclusion, youth education, and improved access to quality learning and livelihoods, particularly for young women, refugees and displaced persons, and people with disabilities. It aims to enable millions of young people in Africa to secure dignified and fulfilling work by 2030, working through partnerships with local and regional organizations.
