The Community Fund Committee considers applications and recommendations from Charity Stewards of Lodges and Chapters, and from District Charity Stewards for funds to support a charity or good cause which will benefit the local community.
Preference will be given to organisations in which Freemasons are actively involved.
Organisations that are unlikely to qualify for a grant include those connected with a political party or an animal cause, or do not operate within the boundaries of this Province.
National charities who already receive support from Grand Charity and individuals will not normally be considered.
Lodge or Chapter Charity Stewards should submit their applications to the District Charity Steward who will pass them on to the Secretary of the Community Fund Committee. Those raised by the District Charity Steward should be passed to the District Chairman via the Secretary.
