About the Mastercard Foundation

It collaborates with forward-thinking organisations to promote financial inclusion and education so that young people in Canada’s Indigenous communities and Africa can find respectable and meaningful employment.

The Foundation’s Board of Directors and leadership make decisions on its policies, operations, and programmes.

The Mastercard Foundation Centre for Innovative Teaching and Learning promotes technology-driven education, focusing on underserved communities. It collaborates with various stakeholders to integrate technology into education, fostering innovative EdTech innovations and enhancing learning.
