The Trust was formed in 1822 in Macao for the establishment of a Parsee cemetery there. The first Parsee association, known as the ‘China Canton Anjuman’ was formed in Canton in 1834. In 1845, a wider Anjuman body covering Hong Kong, Canton, and Macao was created for establishing and maintaining burial grounds, having places of association and rendering financial assistance to the needy. In Hong Kong, the first premises for use of the Zoroastrian community was rented in 1857. In 1993, the 23-storey ‘Zoroastrian Building’ was inaugurated. The Trust makes substantial donations annually to individuals and institutions in India, Hong Kong and around the world. A large number of educational subsidies are also granted to students every year. The Trust also organises events to foster relations within the community and preserve their heritage and culture. The Trust has a membership of about 200.
