CHARITY

Charity has always been a core principle of Freemasonry. Individuals can make an important contribution at local, national, and global levels by giving both their time and money.

Freemasonry is one of the largest charitable givers in the country, contributing £42m* to deserving causes in 2020 alone. Freemasons do not only donate money – more than 18.5 million hours* of volunteer work was undertaken by Freemasons in 2020.

The MCF

The Masonic Charitable Foundation (MCF), the Freemasons’ Charity, 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 MCF is one of the largest grant-making charities in the country. A wide range of help and support is available for Freemasons, their wives, partners, widows, children and grandchildren. Most of the support provided takes the form of financial grants to assist with financial, health or family related needs. Today we are very proud of our achievements and the many thousands of people that we have helped. Want to get involved?
