West Riding Masonic Charities Limited supports both the internal welfare needs of Freemasons and their families and a broader set of community-focused causes across the West Riding of Yorkshire. Its external giving is strongly local and practical, centered on small and major grants to charities serving vulnerable people, plus hands-on hospital support through the Teddies for Loving Care programme. The funder tends to back organisations with clear community benefit and a direct service model, especially those working in health, child wellbeing, and local hardship relief.
Primarily local, programme-driven giving with minor grants up to £5,000 and occasional larger major grants. It also supports in-kind distribution via Teddies for Loving Care, supplying hospitals across the province; funding appears to be administered through a provincial charitable structure rather than a broad public application process.

Focus proposals on clear, local benefit within Yorkshire West Riding and demonstrate direct impact on vulnerable people or community wellbeing. For the Community Fund, align with the minor/major grant structure and be prepared to show how the project serves non-masonic beneficiaries; hospital or child-comfort projects should connect to the established TLC model.
