FFV’s work is fuelled by the generosity of Freemasons and supporters past and present, who share our vision for a stronger, more compassionate Victoria. Together, we continue to strengthen the fabric of our communities, ensuring every dollar invested brings hope, opportunity and tangible benefits to those we serve.
In the financial year 2023-2024, FFV contributed $2,509,876 towards impactful community projects, including support for education and local initiatives. A key highlight was the distribution of 102 Masonic Grants, totalling $564,317, to support causes nominated by Lodges.
In the report, you can read about such initiatives from Spring Vale Lodge, Monash Lodge, Lodge Belvoir, Portland Lodge, and Ballarat Freemasons. These grants enable local Freemasons to directly invest in projects that make a real difference in their communities, like the Royal South Street Society Ballarat Eisteddfod, The Albury Wodonga Regional Cancer Centre, Melbourne’s Mobile Stroke Unit and the Portland College Re-engagement Program.
FFV contributed $499,526 through its education programs, helping 482 Victorian students on their learning journeys, through FFV scholarship programs and those of Masonic Lodges. Additionally, we supported 29 Community Grants, amounting to $803,604, which enabled not-for-profits and charitable organisations across Victoria to carry out vital projects in our focus areas.
Our Report features the work of Standing Tall, an impactful student mentoring program in Hamilton; RizeUp – an organisation that supports families and children affected by family and domestic violence through providing safe and comforting home environments; and the CONFIRM Trial - a clinical trial of a new way to better manage low-grade prostate cancer, among others.
