Charitable Work. 
The order has two trust funds which are registered charities. 
 
For the year ending 30th June 2023 the Grand Charitable Trust made donations totalling £195,834 to charities on behalf of The Order of Women Freemasons' Lodges including donations to the DEC Turkey-Syria Earthquake Appeal and the Stroke Association to mark the Queen Elizabeth's 75th Platinum Jubilee.

We raise large amounts of money for charity by holding social events, and these also give members the opportunity to get to know each other on an informal basis. Each Worshipful Master selects, during her year of office, a charity particularly dear to her and often local to her lodge. The money raised during her year is shared equally between the charity and the Order's Charitable Grand Trust at Grand Lodge. 
 
In February 2023 the Order of Women Freemasons Grand Charitable Trust donated £50,000 to the DEC Turkey-Syria Earthquake Appeal. 
 
In 2022, during The Queen's 75th Platinum Jubilee year, Lodges raised £25,000 for the Stroke Association, a charity of which Queen Elizabeth was Patron. 
 
In 2021 the OWF participated in the NHS Social Care and Frontline Workers' Day on 5th July. Lodges throughout the country held garden parties at 1pm on the day and £15,000 was raised for the NHS Charities. 
 
During 2020 the Trustees of the Order of Women Freemasons' Grand Charitable Trust donated £300,000 to help those in distress during these difficult times. The money was divided between the following charities:  
BBC Children in Need 
St John Ambulance 
Salvation Army food banks 
Women’s Aid to help fund the assistance given to those experiencing domestic violence. 
 
At our Centenary celebrations in 2008, half a million pounds was presented to two cancer charities and in 2017 £100,000 was presented to Cancer Research after almost every lodge held events and took part in a local Race for Life run
