Tips for Applicants

Applicants should note the two annual funding rounds and ensure their application aligns with one of the specific funds (e.g., Health, Education, History/Literary, General Charity). Applications can be submitted directly or through a Freemasons' lodge.

Giving Philosophy

The Foundation operates as the formal benevolent arm of Freemasonry, providing structured charitable grants annually. It values assisting local communities, often in conjunction with lodges, and supports specific areas through dedicated funds like education scholarships and men's health initiatives.
