Matched Giving

At a local level, we work closely with Freemason Lodges throughout Queensland and in Papua New Guinea to identify areas of need, and support causes that have the potential to make an important difference in their community. Freemason Lodges can apply to Hand Heart Pocket for Matched Giving on behalf of their local, nominated charity. Freemason Lodges can log into the member-only area to access all the information and forms they need to make an application

Hardship Assistance

Our Hardship Assistance program brings the right people together around the table to support families and individuals to get back on their feet. We do this by partnering with UnitingCare’s financial counselling service to support Queenslanders who have fallen on hard times.
