The Order of the Secret Monitor Benevolent Fund (OSMBF), a Registered Charity (207781), was formed towards the close of the 19th Century and in December 1899 it was formally opened with a credit balance of seventeen guineas..

Today, the OSMBF considers Petitions from individual members of the Order of the Secret Monitor for personal financial support and assists recognised Charities with “Worthy Causes” grants. The applications for charitable grants to “Worthy Causes” are generally made through the Provinces/Districts and usually take the form of “Match Funding”. Each Province/District is invited to submit applications for match funding of their own fund raising activities in support of their local Charities to a maximum value of £1,000.00 per year.

Petitions for assistance from individual Brethren must be forwarded via the Provincial/District Grand Recorder as should any applications for match funding in support of suitable Charities.

All such Petitions and applications should, in the first instance, be sent to:

Charities, Mark Masons’ Hall, 86 St. James’s Street, London, SW1A 1PL

These applications to the OSMBF are considered by the Executive Committee of the Order of the Secret Monitor at its April and October meetings. Applications to the Fund are not considered at the July meeting of the Executive Committee.
