Program summary

Established in 1988, the ANZ Staff Foundation has distributed hundreds of grants to help disadvantaged people, children with disabilities, unemployed youth and community groups achieve their goals.

In 2003/04, the Foundation contributed over $206,000 to 17 not-for-profit organisations throughout Australia.

The grants are funded by regular contributions from ANZ and its employees. Our people also volunteer their time to specific projects supported by the foundation.
