London Freemasons Charity
About This Funder
The London Freemasons Charity (LFC), established in 2000 as the London Masonic Charitable Trust and run by trustees from the Metropolitan Grand Lodge of London, embodies Masonic values of integrity, friendship, respect, and charity. Its mission is to strengthen Greater London communities through grants funded by London Freemasons, prioritizing smaller charities and local organizations that deliver maximum local impact and inclusivity via community-led philanthropy. Governed by diverse Freemason trustees and a small team, LFC emphasizes transparent, accountable support for transformative projects addressing disadvantage and promoting opportunity.
It funds specific projects benefiting children, young people, the elderly, and educational initiatives, alongside broader community efforts like services for disabled children, isolation relief for seniors, neighborhood health and wellbeing programs, and grassroots education. Grants target measurable social benefits for Londoners, favoring practical, under-served needs over general operations.
Eligible applicants are UK-registered charities or community groups with charitable purpose operating exclusively in Greater London; smaller organizations are preferred, though larger ones qualify if demonstrating direct local impact—no strict income thresholds or religious restrictions apply, and unsolicited applications are welcomed. Submit via email to e.faux@metgl.com with latest accounts, detailed project plans showing significance, and bank details; rolling basis with board decisions as received, typically £3,000–£10,000 for one-year use.
LFC excludes core funding, retrospective or ongoing projects, individual grants, and anything outside London; re-applications allowed after 12 months. It stands out for its hyper-local London focus, Freemason stewardship, and commitment to visible, values-aligned outcomes in a crowded funding landscape.
