The ABS Foundation
Supporting community projects in West Yorkshire and around the world.
The ABS Foundation was established to create lasting, positive impact by supporting charities, community groups, and sustainable projects both locally and internationally.
Every time a customer chooses ABS for managed print, IT, cybersecurity, or telecoms, a percentage of that contract is invested into the Foundation at no additional cost. Combined with fundraising and volunteering from the ABS team, this allows us to support projects that make a genuine difference to people’s lives.
From community initiatives across West Yorkshire to long-term partnerships in countries including Sri Lanka, India, Rwanda and Uganda, we are committed to helping organisations that create meaningful change.
