The Charitable Trust has grown thanks to money from grants, individual and corporate donations, individual lodges, estate planning, bequests and fund raisers. 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. Some of our beneficiaries have told us:

I am without words. God bless you and the Third District Trust. Please let me them know that gratitude isn’t a big enough word, there are no words. I just broke down in the happiest tears ……………………..
