NORTHUMBERLAND MARK BENEVOLENT FUND

To receive bequests and donations from Mark Lodges, Royal Ark Mariner Lodges and Brethren of the Province of Northumberland and from other Masonic organisations. To make grants to Mark Brethren, widows and children in need and donations to the Fund of Benevolence of Grand Mark Lodge & other Masonic and non Masonic charities.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker recently
The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board is completely male

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Latest accounts are overdue for filing and returns have been filed late on 4 occasions over the last 5 years
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
