Benevolence Fund

Masonicare’s Benevolence Program is there to support Masons and their families who have fallen on hard times or have difficulties which threaten their wellbeing.

Masonicare provides confidential financial grants, access to financial advice and counselling services to Masons or their families who are in financial distress. Financial grants are of an amount up to 5,000 ($10,000 for funeral expenses) and subject to the individual circumstances and appropriate due diligence.

The Benevolence program provides comfort and security knowing that Masonicare is there to care for and support our own community in times of need.

Grants are made following application on the approved form only available to Worshipful Masters or Secretaries of Lodges. Application must have Lodge sponsorship and all applications are taken and kept in strictest confidence. RMMs and DMRs are familiar with the process and are available to assist a Lodge with a brother in need if needed. Application forms are available on request from Masonicare or the Grand Lodge Office to the nominated people only and grants are subject to Masonicare Board approval.

These grants are assessed on a case-by-case basis. For more information please contact Tony Craig at tonycraig@ozemail.com.au
