The ANSA McAL Foundation holds a proud legacy of driving progress and fostering positive change throughout Trinidad and Tobago.

In 1981, the McAL Foundation was formed to assist charitable causes.

In 1986, the ANSA Foundation was formed to assist charitable causes.

In 1993, the ANSA McAL Foundation emerged from the union of the McAL Foundation and the ANSA Foundation, uniting their strengths to empower individuals and promote Caribbean excellence. Through this merger, the foundation has reinforced its commitment to fostering positive change and nurturing a knowledge-driven, compassionate society in Trinidad and Tobago.

The ANSA McAL Foundation is the philanthropic arm of the ANSA McAL Group. It is an autonomous body, substantially funded by the Group. All assistance, however, is funded by the Foundation’s own investments.
