Masonic philanthropy is woven into the tapestry of California history.
For generations, Masons have worked to build stronger communities through service, education and a commitment to helping others. The California Masonic Foundation carries that forward today, putting those principles into action in ways that align with the shared values of the communities we serve.
At its core, the Foundation stands beside people at critical moments in their lives. From young children learning to read, to students working toward a college degree, to seniors in need of care and stability, our work focuses on both support and forward movement. We invest in people, helping them build the skills, confidence and support systems they need to move ahead.
California Masons are proud to call nearly 32,000 good men throughout California our brothers. We are men of all races, ethnicities, religious views, political affiliations, and professions who are united by a common moral code of brotherhood, growth, and Masonic charity.
The California Masonic Foundation is the philanthropic arm of the organization. Through focused partnerships and targeted programs, we help children, families and seniors access the opportunities and support they need to live healthy, fulfilling lives. Our work reflects a closely held tenet of Masonry: when people have access to education and care, communities are stronger for it.
We provide vital services for Masonic family members of all ages, statewide.
We’re committed to supporting child literacy, education access, and outstanding teachers.
From youth groups to leadership training, the California Masonic Foundation supports lodges throughout the state.
Our philanthropic causes are supported entirely by generous contributions from California Masons and our families and friends
