Information
East Kent Provincial Charities Association
Referred to as "The EKPCA" in these notes.
In the United Kingdom, charities can enjoy an almost tax free existence. The
purpose of the EKPCA is to take advantage of that unique tax position, which
allows charities to claim back Income Tax paid by donors and to receive income
and interest, tax free!
The EKPCA then passes all those advantages on to the Brethren, the Lodges and
ultimately, to other Charities.
Aims and Objects;
1. The relief of poverty of children and the elderly.
2. The advancement of education.
3. The care of the sick and elderly.
4. To support and further such charitable purposes as the Management Committee
shall in their absolute discretion determine.
In furtherance of these objects the Association shall:
(a) Encourage Masonic Brethren and others to subscribe money more freely for
Charitable purposes.
(b) Assist the Masonic Lodges in the Province of East Kent to stimulate
interest in and collect money for recognised Masonic Charities or other
institutions or societies established for exclusively charitable purposes
which may be nominated by the Donor.
(c) Accept and administer legacies to Masonic Charities.
Registered as a Charity by the Charity Commissioners, the EKPCA is an
Association of Members with the day to day management under the control of the
Management Committee.
