Our Story
The Grand Master’s Keystone Fund

At the Quarterly Communications in June 2023, the former 150th Anniversary Keystone Fund was renamed The Grand Master’s Keystone Fund in honour of our Grand Master, M.W.Bro. H.R.H. Prince Michael of Kent, GCVO, and his forty years of devoted service to Mark Masonry.

In Somerset, the Royal and Select Masters are proud to support the Fund’s purpose: awarding bursaries that encourage and provide financial support to individuals pursuing educational, vocational, and performance based studies. The Grand Master’s Keystone Fund is administered by the Mark Benevolent Fund Board of Trustees, ensuring applications and awards are handled with care, transparency, and due diligence.

Through this shared commitment, Somerset Royal and Select Masters help extend practical assistance to those striving to develop their talents and opportunities, reflecting the values of charity, encouragement, and service that sit at the heart of our Order.
