Cordes Foundation

About

We champion bold, innovative solutions to the world’s toughest problems – with a focus on alleviating global poverty and empowering women and girls to fully participate in the development of their communities. We believe in social entrepreneurship - harnessing the power of the capital markets to drive game-changing ideas to scale, and in the critical importance of elevating women and girls in society via education, health care, human rights advocacy and self-employment opportunities. We also believe in activating the “other 95%” of our portfolio – moving beyond our annual grants budget to fully activate 100% of our portfolio resources in impact investments directed toward our mission.
