Philanthropy

Through the generosity and compassion of Masonic Fraternity members past and present, Minnesota Masonic Charities has grown to become a leading grantmaker in the state, capable of influencing outcomes in significant causes such as cancer research and children’s health.

The organization provides over $6 million annually in mission and other grants, addressing the most critical issues faced by our society today, and becoming the University of Minnesota’s largest single donor in history.

You can’t get very far until you start doing something for somebody else.

Serve the classes, live with the masses. Serve the masses, live with the classes.

The wages of a Mason are in the dealings with one another; sympathy begets sympathy, kindness begets kindness, helpfulness begets helpfulness, and these are the wages of a Mason.

I give because my family experienced the love and care of Minnesota Masonic Home. Supporting this mission is my way of giving back to those who gave so much to us.

I give because I believe in potential. Supporting scholarships through Minnesota Masonic Charities means investing in tomorrow’s leaders and ensuring that every bright mind has a chance to shine, regardless of financial barriers.

I give to the Masonic Cancer Center because cancer has touched my family, and I want to be part of the solution. Knowing that my gift supports research that leads to better treatment and more time with the people we love means everything to me.

Supporting the Masonic Children’s Hospital is a way for me to give kids the chance to grow up healthy and strong. Every child deserves world-class care close to home, and I’m proud to help make that possible.

I support the Masonic Institute for the Developing Brain because mental health is just as important as physical health. Too often, kids and families struggle in silence. My gift helps ensure they have access to innovative care and research that brings hope, healing, and a brighter future.
