Freemasonry is helping to tackle some of society’s most important issues through grants to local and national charities, and partnerships with leading organisations in the sector.

With grants totalling around £5.5 million each year, the MCF helps thousands of disadvantaged and vulnerable people to live happy, fulfilling lives and participate actively in society.

The MCF’s grant programmes for charities target funding where it is most needed, within the areas about which Freemasons care most passionately. The target areas are currently:

• Improving the health and wellbeing of older people with dementia and their carers
• Early years (children aged 0-5), with a focus on poverty and neglect
• Children affected by Domestic Abuse
• Children with special educational needs and disabilities
• Medical research into childhood diseases and conditions
• Funding care services in the hospice sector
