The Australian Men's Shed Association (AMSA) is the national representative body for over 1,200 Men's Sheds across Australia. It supports men's health and well-being by providing a safe, friendly environment for men, especially older men, to socialize, share skills, and engage in community projects. AMSA focuses on advocacy, resource provision, and capacity building for the Men's Shed movement.

AMSA's approach to 'giving' is primarily focused on supporting and empowering the Men's Shed movement across Australia. While they administer some grant programs for individual sheds (often government-funded), their core philosophy is about providing resources, advocacy, and networking opportunities to foster social inclusion, improve men's health outcomes, and facilitate community engagement through the Shed model. Their 'grants' are typically small-scale support or seed funding to establish or improve sheds, rather than large philanthropic disbursements.
