"Enhancing equity, enriching society"

ASB Community Trust is an independent grant-making organisation supporting the work of not-for-profit groups in Auckland and Northland.
Founded on the sale of its shares in ASB bank, the Trust has made grants worth more than $700m since being formed in 1988.
Our vision is to enhance equity and enrich society in Auckland and Northland.
Any incorporated society or charitable trust in those areas can apply for funds, provided they are a not-for-profit organisation.

We fund projects that:

  • Reduce poverty and disadvantage
  • Protect the environment
  • Preserve our heritage
  • Support art and culture
  • Encourage sport
  • Boost recreation
  • Improve learning and health outcomes

ASB Community Trust grants money to voluntary sector projects in Auckland and Northland. More details are in our What We Fund section.

As a result of the new strategic direction ASB Community Trust is taking, we have changed the way we fund organisations and projects. For information on how this affects your organisation please refer to the Applying For Funding section.
