Helping Communities
In addition to the support provided to Freemasons and their families, the Masonic Charitable Foundation looks beyond Freemasonry, making significant grants to charities that help people to live happy, fulfilled lives, and to participate actively in society. The charities supported make significant and lasting difference to people in need.
