[9][10] The Mastercard Foundation's mission is to advance education and financial inclusion in developing countries and to support Indigenous youth in Canada.

[11] At the African Green Revolution Forum's presidential summit in 2019, Mastercard Foundation CEO Reeta Roy stated “Our goal is simple.

[12] In 2008, the foundation launched a partnership with BRAC to expand financial services to approximately two million people across Uganda.

[17] It is set up as a challenge fund, through which the FRP is able to find and support private sector businesses in Sub-Saharan Africa that can scale up innovative ideas that expand financial inclusion to smallholder farmers and rural areas.

[18] In 2017, the Mastercard Foundation launched the EleV Program, which seeks to support Indigenous youth in Canada on their journeys through education and on to meaningful livelihoods.
