In 2006, several long-standing charities of Minnesota Masonry combined to create one umbrella organization, Minnesota Masonic Charities (MMC), with a mission to promote even greater levels of philanthropy.

Today, MMC is one of the most influential grant makers in Minnesota, and an essential service provider, that positively impacts outcomes in education, cancer research, eldercare, children’s health, community service and the preservation of Masonic history.
