Bio / presentation

The Amancio Ortega Foundation, established in 2001, is a non-profit organization focused on educational, social welfare, and to a lesser extent, cultural projects. Its most prominent educational initiative is the scholarship program for 10th-grade students to study 11th grade in the United States or Canada, fostering language learning, independence, and academic development in international environments. In the field of social welfare, the foundation supports projects aimed at improving public healthcare, particularly in oncology, through the donation of advanced medical technology to Spanish hospitals. While cultural activity is not its main focus, the foundation’s statutes include support for artistic and heritage-related initiatives. Its approach prioritizes long-term, positive impact, addressing real needs with efficiency and responsibility. From Galicia, the foundation works to provide opportunities that promote personal growth and social advancement.
