Warwickshire Royal Arch Charity Collections
Making the most of your donations
30 Chapters donated a total of £11,446.00 to the Warwickshire Royal Arch Benevolent Fund, (WRABF) last year to which was added the very worthwhile HMRC Gift Aid rebate worth a further, valuable £1,978.00. The Benevolent Fund Relief Chest itself attracted a further £1,141.00 in interest, taking the total collected to £14,565.00. Donations from other sources increased this to £17,608.00 overall.

£27,907 Donated
Warwickshire Provincial Grand Chapter donated £27,907.00 to 27 different charities, thus we paid out more than we collected! How do we even this out? 30 Chapters donated to the fund, which leaves a number who didn’t and their contributions make up the extra amount.
More bangs for your bucks
The Province will enhance Chapters collection if they use the recommended form which can be downloaded HERE and follow its rules.
Put very simply, if your Warwickshire Chapter makes its collections for a nominated charity, using the Gift Aid envelopes and our simple forms, the Envelope Verification Scheme, (EVS) and the Nominated Charity Form, (NCF), both of which are available from the members area, for local Warwickshire based charities or those having a substantial Warwickshire presence, the MCF will arrange and add the Gift Aid and the Province can enhance that total from the Fund.
The table below shows example donations from Chapters, showing their collections and the total donation in red after the Benevolent Fund enhancement and gift aid additions. You will see that by using our scheme your charities greatly benefit.
