Supporting the MCF
members’ donations have been used and the impact that they have made, you can use this to encourage your members to continue to support your charitable ambitions. It is also a good idea to maintain contact and build relationships with charities that are happy and able to promote your contributions and work with you to promote both their work and the support that they receive from your members. This can create long term partnerships that brings benefits to all concerned.
Supporting the MCF The MCF is the Freemasons’ charity and as such funds are only raised through the membership. The MCF relies on Freemasons and their families for donations and that is why it is always appreciated when donations are received. Nearly 75% of MCF income comes through members’ donations and contributions, of which well over half comes through Festival Appeals.
Supporting when in Festival
Festivals provide the biggest single source of income. When a Province is in Festival, the focus for fundraising will gravitate towards the MCF. The Provincial Festival Team will have been working with the MCF to establish all the ways in which Lodges can disburse funds to the Festival Appeal.
Supporting when not in Festival
If there is not a period of Festival taking place then Metropolitan and Provinces and the Lodges and members within, can of course continue to support the MCF and there are many ways in which to do so. Details of all these methods are on the MCF website.
