At the Asda Foundation, we recognise the importance of safeguarding and as a grant maker, and we believe we have a unique opportunity to contribute to better safeguarding practices for the groups and local communities we support. More information on our Safeguarding Guidance can be found here to help you understand application requirements.

The Asda Foundation aims to transform communities and improve lives. For more information please visit our Foundation Grants page.

In order to apply for a Grassroots Grant, you will need to complete an application form on behalf of the group you are associated with. The first step of the application process is to contact your local Asda Community Champion. The full guidance for applying can be found here.

A Community Champion is an Asda Colleague who works alongside the local community to build relationships ensuring we can support various projects, groups and charities in your local area. Community Champions are based at our Superstores. Get in touch with your Community Champion to find out more.

The Foundation is funded by an annual donation from Asda.

The Asda Foundation board of Trustee’s approve the allocated budget spend for each grant stream.

Our current trustees are outlined on our home page alongside the names of our Asda Foundation colleagues. The Trustee board is made up of independent external trustees as well as Asda colleague trustees.

The Asda Foundation is a registered charity and company by guarantee. The board of trustee’s meet quarterly, along with strategic involvement throughout the year. The Foundation Manager leads the operational Foundation team on a day to day basis with input from trustees.
