Masonic Philanthropies
The tradition of charitable giving among Brothers of the Masonic fraternity has a long history in California. For more than 150 years brothers have been helping Brothers in need. Early on it was pretty much on an informal basis, but today our methods are much more sophisticated. We use regular mail, writing of checks, telephone, e-mails, credit/debit cards, etc. These are all ways to support Masonic charities.
Brothers, remember Masonic charities could not exist without YOU. They have no means to raise money except through our donations and support.
Many Brothers and their families may be having a tough time for any one of many reasons, i.e., loss of employment due to downsizing, exporting of jobs, or maybe the victim of the horrendous fires that have swept through Southern California recently.
Now is the time to step forward and recognize your duty and obligation to your friends and your fraternity. You can just mail your check to Grand Lodge, or phone in a credit/debit card pledge or go on-line to make your contribution. It's that easy! Now together Brothers.
Thank you for your support.
