Support, Invest, Enhance

ASB Community Trust's Strategic Plan 2008-2012

 


The strategic plan sets out ASB Community Trust’s goals and objectives for the next five years – and how we intend to reach them.


Our first strategic plan, in 2005, developed the mission and vision statements which now guide our decision-making: to invest in communities, enhancing equity and enriching society by financially supporting community organisations in the Auckland and Northland region.


Looking back, we can see how the changes we made have already put more focus on outcomes - rather than outputs - in the way we do our work.


Now that those first objectives have largely been met, our new goals demand that the Trust – as an organisation dedicated to social change - develop a more strategic approach to grantmaking.


We expect our funding to make communities better places for everyone to live and we are committed to improving our organisation and operations. We will strive to become more flexible, responsive, outward looking and open in our ways of working, building on our progress in these areas in recent years.


This new strategic plan will underpin all our work between 2008 and 2012 and be a touchstone against which all the Trust’s decisions are measured.
