Funding options

There are three ways funders can contribute to CFE programmes run by the ASISA Foundation:

Short-term funding: ASISA members. The Foundation’s structure enables members to comply with the FSC requirements to spend 0.4% without bonus points, or 0.5% with bonus points, of NPAT on CFE.

Medium-term funding: ASISA members, as well as major donor or grant funding organisations, public entities or corporates, through projects that align with the specific goals and objectives of these organisations.

Long-term funding: ASISA members, donor or grant funding organisations, as well as distributions from entities in which the Foundation is a beneficiary or shareholder, such as the ASISA Enterprise and Supplier Development Trusts.
