At the Quarterly Communications in June 2023, the name and purpose of the '150th Anniversary Keystone Fund' was changed to "The Grand Master's Keystone Fund" to celebrate our Grand Master, M.W.Bro. H.R.H. Prince Michael of Kent, G.C.V.O. having given forty years of service to Mark Masonry.
Initially, the purpose of the new fund is to grant awards to individuals to offer encouragement and financial support with their educational, vocational, and sporting achievements.
The Grand Master’s Keystone Fund will be administered by the Mark Benevolent Fund Board of Trustees.
