The Royal Masonic Trust for Girls and Boys

• The foundation's main purpose is helping children of Freemasons who are in need, and it may help other children only if its resources are not used for that purpose, so an organisation whose beneficiaries are not children of Freemasons is unlikely to fit its primary focus.
• The annual report gives £4,310,000 awarded, of which £4,180,000 went to individuals; that second figure was read from a scanned page, and the Charity Commission register does not confirm the scale.
• Its objects are relief of poverty and advancement of education, so work that helps young people with living costs, school or course fees, equipment, or music, sport and performing arts coaching matches what it describes.
• No grant range is given and no geographic focus is stated, though the register lists its area of operation as throughout England and Wales, so a small charity should ask about likely request sizes rather than assume one.
• Applications are accepted on a rolling basis, and grants to other charities are made only when funds permit.

• Grants paid, year to 31 March 2021; year to 31 March 2022; year to 31 March 2023; year to 31 March 2024: grants to institutions, as reported on the charity register (Part B).
• Grants paid, year to 31 March 2025: grants awarded in the year, as reported in the accounts.
