Since our 2007 inception, we have disbursed more than $72.6M USD into initiatives that enable local employment, nurture small business growth and support financially viable social and environmental solutions.

Our Approach
At Lundin Foundation, we focus on entrepreneurial opportunities that power lasting, sustainable impact at the local level. Then, we look for untapped market prospects and build upon the inherent strengths of each community. When the project ends, the impact endures: community members have what they need to continue to contribute to the betterment of their societies.
Elevating Performance Across the Lundin Group
We leverage the collective strength of the Lundin Group of Companies by improving program results, innovating human development outcomes for communities and continually improving program design and implementation. We believe communities deserve an individualized approach.
A successful local solution demands adaptability, experimentation and an in-depth understanding of the surrounding environment. In partnership with local community members, we create a joint goal. Then, we test innovative project and flexible financing solutions to bring our collective vision to life.

Change doesn’t happen overnight. We employ a multi-year perspective to create shared value in the communities where we operate. At a minimum, we look three years into the future and promote continuous improvement and innovation within our long-term programs. We develop a sustainable exit strategy to transfer knowledge and expertise to our community partners.
