Strong Foundations

 

This year marked the end of our first five-year strategy and we are so happy to share everything we have achieved.

 

The numbers in the report are impressive, but what we are most proud of is that behind this figure, there are many stories of people that were helped during difficult times and charities that were able to continue their vital work in communities.

 

Every donation matters, and we couldn't have done it without the generosity of Freemasonry and the hard work of everyone at the MCF. 

 

Thank you.

For Freemasons, for families, for everyone

 

The Masonic Charitable Foundation builds better lives by enabling opportunity, advancing healthcare and education and promoting independence for Freemasons, their families and the wider community.

 

Funded entirely through the generosity of Freemasons and their families, the Masonic Charitable Foundation is one of the largest grant-making charities in the country.
