Our mission
Corra Foundation is a charity foundation that is about strengthening and amplifying people’s voices and their power to make change. Often people are trying to support each other, or tackle challenges, or make their communities better places to live. We try and help in lots of different ways.
In 2020 Corra launched a ten-year strategy. It is long term because making a difference on the big challenges will take time. At its heart is the strong belief that when people find their voice, they unlock the power to make change happen.
We give grants to charities and grassroots groups that make a day-to-day difference to lots of people’s lives. Some of that is through funding we manage for others, like the Scottish Government. We also work alongside communities where people are coming together to find their own solutions to things like loneliness, poverty and health issues. We see incredible things happen with just a little bit of support.
