Our Charities
The Practice of Benevolence, or 'universal charity' is a core belief of Freemasons everywhere. Freemasonry Victoria, through its Board of Benevolence funds over a hundred annual education scholarships and numerous grants to worthy charities which have been identified by individual Lodges. While level os of support vary from year to year it is always in excess of a million dollars.
The Lodge supports several local organisations in obtaining grants from the Freemasons Public Charitable Foundation.

The Foundation was established in 1989, and all its investment income is directed to public charitable enterprises. In the past 9 years the Foundation with the help of the morning Lodge donated in excess of $190,000 to local organisations.
