The primary aim of the Trust is to support the children of Freemasons when a family is in need. It is only able to make grants to charities and projects when this obligation has been fulfilled.

At present, the Trust’s resources are sufficient only to support its primary beneficiaries and its existing projects which include the Choral Bursary Scheme, Lifelites and a number of other subsidiary charities which are able to give support to children and young adults whether or not there is a Masonic connection.

This page will be updated if the Trust’s position on applications for Non-Masonic grants changes.
