Y's Men Club implements various major projects every year for the benefit of the society and for the club members.
Brotherhood Fund (BF)
The abbreviation BF is often used for both the fund and the work carried out in connection with this. The was started in 1931 and for many years its proceed was used to promote the movement outside North America and to enable Y's Men from other areas of the world to attend International Convections, always held in USA or Canada in those days. Till 1968 its name was Bishops Fund to Brotherhood fund and certain change took place in the idea behind the fund. As the name suggests, its purpose is to strengthen the fellowship of Y's Men throughout the world, still partly by enabling Y's Men to attend Area and Regional Convections but also by enabling them to visit distant Regions.
