Freemasonry is making a big difference in our local communities. Over the past 18 months, through our combined efforts, Masonicare and the NSW and the ACT Freemasons have donated over $1,109,033 to hundreds of causes. These include:

• Disaster Relief
• Assisting Brethren and their familiesin need
• Local community projects and charities

As Freemasons, we should all be very proud of our efforts. Masonicare would like to thank each and every one of you for your invaluable contribution in assisting those in need and positively promoting Freemasonry in our communities.

Sudden natural disasters and other emergencies can sometimes wreak havoc on unsuspecting communities leaving a trail of despair.

The Disaster Relief Fund is designed to offer financial aid to communities in distress. Through the fund, masoniCare can quickly respond in emergencies, providing much needed financial assistance.

Through the Disaster Relief Fund, NSW and ACT Freemasons donated nearly $200,000 to a project in Sri Lanka designed to help Tsunami victims and $200,000 to assist families of the Victorian Bushfire Victims.

masoniCare has pledged $100,000 to assist the Grand Master of the United Grand Lodge of QLD's Flood Appeal and has also opened a Flood Victims Appeal to assist those affected by this disaster.
