Our mission

Corra’s vision and mission statement

Corra’s vision is for a society where people can create positive change and enjoy fulfilling lives. Our mission is to make a difference with people and communities, by encouraging positive change, opportunities, fairness and growth of aspirations, which improve quality of life.

Our strategy from 2020 to 2030

Corra’s strategy is a response to the world we live in, and to the one we want to play a part in building. 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.

From 2020 to 2030, Corra will help to bring about three big changes so that:

The power to create change rests with people themselves.
People with ideas for radical change are supported, skilled, confident, and connected.
People are working together to respond to the big challenges facing Scotland.

Having a ten-year strategy means that Corra can develop new ways of working as well as building and deepening partnerships. The foundation will continue to work alongside communities and make grants, with a growing focus on supporting voice, power and action.

Achieving the three big changes

Our annual report and accounts provide a yearly update on what we have been doing to deliver against the three big changes. Our suite of progress reports (Impact Report, Open and Trusting Grant-making, DEI and Place) offers deeper insights and learning that refines our approach.

On a three-yearly basis we take an in-depth review of progress towards the three big changes. Below you can read about some of the progress we’ve made in furthering our vision for a society where people can create positive change and enjoy fulfilling lives.

Annual reports and accounts

Each year we produce an annual report and accounts. This shares the work Corra has undertaken to achieve our strategy alongside financial reporting on Corra’s activities. You can read these in detail below.
