What we fund  

If you are applying for funding for a new project, or you have never applied to ASB Community Trust before, it is important that you talk to us before filling in an application form.

Who can apply?

  • Charitable trusts or incorporated societies that have been registered for at least 12 months.
  • Those within the Auckland and Northland region (organisations outside the region may be considered, if they provide benefit to people in our region)

Audited accounts requirements
Where an organisation is applying for $40,000 or more, a copy of your most recent audited annual accounts must be included with your application. If your organisation is applying for less than $40,000 you only need to supply the most recent annual accounts, signed by two office holders.
Please note that if your organisation’s constitution requires it to have audited accounts, you will still have to include audited accounts with your application.

  • Individuals
  • Endowments
  • Debt repayment or refinancing of existing loans
  • Projects promoting religious objectives
  • Fundraisers or projects raising funds for individuals
