Ancora Foundation

The Ancora Foundation was established in Indonesia in 2009 as a philanthropic organization with an overriding objective: to light a fire in the minds of the young in Indonesia through education. Producing the best minds and achieving universal education enrollment are imperatives to building human capital so that Indonesia can play a greater leadership role in the world - commensurate with its size and history. Through scholarships for Indonesians to attend the best universities at home and abroad, the foundation hopes to develop a creme de la creme who will ultimately become instruments of change for Indonesia.

With a focus on providing advanced degree scholarships to Indonesia’s best and brightest students, Ancora foundations portfolios have expanded to include a critical selection of education-based programs.

Their initiatives are clustered into 3 main core areas: increasing access to education through scholarship management programs, improving the quality of teaching by providing teachers with training programs, and enhancing the skills of communities through various community-based education programs.
