Lodges are invited to apply for Match Funding Grants, of up to £1,000 each, to match donations from Lodges to worthy local causes which benefit disadvantaged people in Somerset. Grants approved under the Scheme will be forwarded to Lodges to enable them to make joint presentations of their Lodge and Legacy Match Funding cheques on an appropriate date or occasion.  It is hoped that the Scheme will demonstrate and publicise to Somerset Freemasons the advantages of leaving a Legacy to the Somerset Masonic Charities. 
 

Applications will be considered Quarterly, and Lodges may submit no more than one application per annum; written applications should be sent to the Provincial Grand Charity Steward by 31^st March, 30^th June, 30^th September or 31^st December in any year.
 

Applications should give details of the donation being made by the Lodge and contain brief information about the local charity / cause / project being supported.  Only new donations are eligible (i.e. retrospective applications will not be considered). 
 

Further information about Legacies, or advice about applications under the Match Funding Scheme, is available from Roger Poynton, Provincial Grand Charity Steward. To email Roger, click here
