Masonic Charities Trust
Giving Philosophy
The trust distributes 4% of its corpus annually to support health initiatives and community activities aligned with Freemasonry's benevolence charter. It prioritises organisations addressing the needs of disadvantaged and vulnerable populations across South Australia and the Northern Territory.
Tips for Applicants
Proposals should clearly demonstrate alignment with Freemasonry's values of benevolence and show measurable outcomes for disadvantaged or vulnerable beneficiaries. Contact the trust directly to discuss eligibility before applying, as giving appears to be directed toward established partnerships rather than open grant rounds.
