About the Organization

With more than 45 years of experience, we are recognized as a leading global foundation for our commitment to people’s well-being and social progress. Our mission, as a non-profit institution created by MAPFRE, is to contribute to improving people’s quality of life and the progress of society through multinational programs and activities.

Fundación MAPFRE is fully aware of the fact that only by understanding the new realities of this changing world will we be able to move forward with this global project which is structured around different areas of action. To achieve our goals, we organize a wide range of activities worldwide in five key areas that all share a common objective: our ethical commitment to society.

The five areas in which our activities are based are: Social Action, Culture, Health Promotion, Prevention and Road Safety and Insurance and Social Protection.

About the Grant
