What We Fund
Building stronger families and communities
Our philanthropic work predominantly supports the improvement of outcomes for young people in need. At a local level, we back our Members to support the causes they care about.
Strategic Partnerships
We partner with charities and organisations who operate in Queensland and Papua New Guinea that tackle social issues to achieve life-changing outcomes for people in need. Our focus is on ensuring Queensland’s most at-risk young people have the outcomes they need to thrive in adult life.
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.
Disaster relief and disaster preparedness
When a natural disaster strikes in Queensland, we will make a special donation to that community on behalf of the Freemasons of Queensland, through our partner GIVIT. We also partner with the Foundation for Rural Regional Renewal (FRRR) who deliver disaster preparedness support to local community organsiations.
