Charity

The Province of Cornwall has two registered Charities, the Cornwall Mark Benevolent Association (CMBA) and the Cornwall Mark Foundation (CMF).

Cornwall Mark Foundation

The Foundation was established in 1997 and registered with the Charity Commission in the same year. It receives donations from Brethren of Mark and RAM Lodges in Cornwall, from the Lodges themselves and from other parties, which monies are used for the benefit of non-masonic charities and organisations. These donations are approved on an annual basis at the Foundation AGM.

The Foundation is controlled by a Board of Trustees.
