West Riding Masonic Charities Limited – Provincial Grand Masters Fund

Provides major grants up to £25,000 and small grants up to £500 for capital projects (equipment/tangible assets)

The charity raises funds from Freemason members and then distributes a limited number of major grants and a larger number of small grants to charities and organisations in the region for a wide range of activities/projects which benefit local communities.

Grants are usually for capital items.  Organisations who have benefitted range from rugby/football clubs, community organisations, hospices, bereavement projects, schools to provide shoes for school children to enable them to take part in activities, baby banks and so on.

The Charity is keen to hear from any local community group, sports group, charity, supporting people and communities.

Lodges nominate Non-Masonic Organisations or Charities in the Province to receive grants for the benefit of the wider community.
