The inaugural meeting of the Kumeroa School Educational Trust was held in April 1992 after the Board of Trustees of Kumeroa School saw the need for an organisation separate from the school to act as an independent repository for funds raised from the sale of cattle and strainer posts cut from local trees. 

From this point the Trust has received income from Land Rentals, sale of redwood and pine timber, and sales of firewood, mostly from gum trees planted by the school along Kumeroa Road. 

Funds raised from interest and the sale of firewood have been used by the school for school trips, purchasing books for end of year presentations and financial support.

In 2011 the Trust assumed financial responsibility for the running of the school swimming pool that is a community resource owned by the community.

Equal numbers of representatives from both the Board of Trustees and the community now make up the Trust Board of the Kumeroa School Education Trust.
