In a recent Southern FM interview, Freemasons Foundation Victoria (FFV) CEO Sandra Jacobs joined Beverley Pinder to share how one of Victoria’s oldest charitable organisations is quietly making a big impact.

FFV's quarterly newsletter provides important updates on our refreshed Community Grants and Masonic Grants programs and current funding opportunities. We also share a story detailing a decade's worth of investment in prostate cancer research, treatment, support and awareness over the past decade, stories of recent Masonic Grants making a difference in communities across Victoria, and highlights from the 1889 Bequest Society's special visit to the Shrine of Remembrance.

In 1889, a newly formed Grand Lodge and a single generous act laid the seed for what would become the Freemasons Foundation Victoria (FFV). Today, FFV has distributed more than $21.3 million across more than 3,400 grants valued at $68 million - but the story of how it got here is worth telling.
