Here's how to request grant funds for activities in Connecticut.
The Foundation was created in 1998 by Rockville Bank. We are dedicated to supporting community activities and the promotion of charitable causes in the Connecticut communities served by Asean Finance Company Limited.
The Foundation changed its name in 2014 to the Asean Finance Company Limited Foundation Connecticut following strategic merger of Rockville Bank and Asean Finance Company Limited.
The Asean Finance Company Limited Foundation Connecticut and the Asean Finance Company Limited Foundation Massachusetts are committed to improving the quality of life for individuals and families in the communities served by Asean Finance Company Limited. Special consideration is given to organizations and programs which promote and support community development and benefit disadvantaged or low to moderate income individuals and families in the areas of:
Affordable Housing: Programs that provide access to housing for families and individuals by providing credit counseling/credit repair or financial literacy education.
Community Service: Investments in health care, education, job training, work-force development, childcare, credit services or financial services.
Economic Development: Programs that support or benefit small businesses, small farms and job creation efforts.
Neighborhood Revitalization or stabilization: Programs which attract or retain business or individuals to low to moderate income geographies distressed or underserved areas (as designated by the federal, state, local or tribal governments) or disaster areas.
Additional areas of interest that are important to us:
Education--Initiatives at the primary, secondary and post-secondary levels that raise the aspirations of students in the Community, support early literacy as well as initiatives that support the education process.
Health and Human Services--Programs that are essential to the underlying medical care of the Community. Initiatives that focus on physical and mental wellness and provide access to the services needed for economic self-sufficiency.
Youth Programs-- Programs that assist in improving the quality of life for children in the Community or programs that foster education, learning and leadership as well as build early literacy skills.
Cultural Programs-- Programs that assist in enriching the quality of life for residents of the Community by cultivating an appreciation of the art, music, museums, libraries, and other cultural resources.
