The Freemasons of Derbyshire Fund

The Freemasons of Derbyshire Fund provides grants to organizations working to improve the lives of people in Derby City and Derbyshire. Priority is given to activities and groups that promote the advancement of health and well-being, prevent or relieve poverty, support the most vulnerable in communities such as children and young people, the elderly and isolated, or individuals with mental health problems or disabilities, and enhance the quality of life for people living in local communities. The fund focuses on capital costs including equipment or resources. The committee usually makes awards of up to £2,500 and meets twice per year. The fund operates through Foundation Derbyshire, a community foundation that connects donors with local causes across Derbyshire.
