The Buckinghamshire Masonic Centenary Fund was established in 1991, the objective being to aid non-Masonic charitable causes within Buckinghamshire. The Fund makes donations to these causes on behalf of over 4000 Buckinghamshire Freemasons, who are the sole source of its financial support.

The Centenary Fund will normally give consideration only to:

•    Non-Masonic charitable causes within Buckinghamshire.
•    Specific projects or facilities, rather than general appeals or requests to fund routine activities. (National charities conduct their own fund-raising activities and may already have received grants from the Freemasons’ Grand Charity.)
•    Buckinghamshire Charities that deal solely with cases in Bucks and Bucks Charities that also have connections in adjacent areas.
•    Individual cases within Bucks, or individual cases outside Bucks if there is a strong Bucks connection. (Individual cases normally should come through, or be supported by, community welfare or health agencies because of the implications for the provision of State and other welfare benefits.)
