The MA Benevolent Fund

To alleviate financial distress of members of the MA
'... to alleviate financial distress of members of the Museums Association and their immediate dependents...'

The Museums Association Benevolent Fund was established in 1953, following the gift of £100 to the Association by Sir Frank Markham MP, a past-secretary and past-president of the association, and has since been bolstered by generous gifts from members and affiliated organisations.

The purpose of the fund is to alleviate financial distress suffered by members of the Museums Association and their immediate dependents. Application is by letter and decisions will be made quickly.

Applications will be considered for family-related matters such as: child-care while a member or dependent re-skills, respite care for member or dependent, specialist equipment for disabled living, difficulties caused by sudden bereavement.

Applicants must have been an individual member of the MA for three out of the previous five years.
