Who are we?
Fundación Corona is a 55 years old family foundation
that seeks to contribute to the strengthening of the abilities to drive social development, life quality and equity in Colombia, through two lines of action: Education Towards Employability and Education Towards Citizen Participation.
We are focused on promoting agendas by means of linking with strategic partners. We learn through social initiatives and we strength them. We are motivated by the desire of improving life quality, of encouraging social development and of reducing inequity in the country.
¿What do we do?
Social Mobility, the possibility of people to reach or lose their position in the socioeconomic welfare scale is our operative umbrella;
it is by means of this umbrella that we seek to contribute to the reduction of the inequality gap in Colombia.
What we believe in:
