Medicor Foundation: Unlocking Grant Opportunities for 2026-2030

About Medicor Foundation Established in 1995, Medicor Foundation has worked for over 30 years, through trusted partner organisations, to improve lives and strengthen communities. This 2026-2030 strategy period marks the beginning of a new chapter for Medicor Foundation as we unite five philanthropic Foundations, each with its own legacy, expertise and focus under one collective vision. At the heart of this unification is a shared recognition that empowerment, at all levels, is essential for lasting change. Whether investing in projects that support individuals, communities or systems, we are guided by the principle that those closest to the challenges must be central to the solutions. Mission Commited to contributing to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), Medicor Foundation supports locally led initiatives that advance education, health and social care and sustainable livelihoods. We are committed to social justice, recognising local knowledge and ownership as essential to achieving lasting positive change.
