Charitable Trust
Unique to our District 3 is the Charitable Trust. Responding to a fraternal and financial need in 1971 and for the 36 years since, the Charitable Trust has provided modest support to District 3 members with subsistence and services critical to their physical, social and psychological well being. The Charitable Trust has grown thanks to money from grants, individual and corporate donations, individual lodges, estate planning, bequests and fundraisers. All funds have been invested appropriately to ensure protection and longevity.
To qualify, a recipient must have been a District 3 SON member at least five years, be recommended for a helping hand by a member and complete the application. These criteria are then reviewed by the Trustees which include the District President, Vice President, Counselor, Secretary and Treasurer. The selection process and results are confidential.
The Counselor manages the day-to-day business of administering the Charitable Trust and communicates monthly with the beneficiaries who continuously express their gratitude and heartfelt appreciation.
To learn more about the Charitable Trust, contact Mary Andersen who is serving as the Counselor at counselor@sofn3d.org.
