Beneficiary stories

Investing in Lupe

Driven to succeed, Lupe Esquivel turned perseverance—and a Masonic scholarship—into a path to higher education.

Coming home together

After decades of marriage, illness separated Hal and Linda. Masonic support helped them find home together again.

His brothers were there

When failing vision left Chester struggling alone, Masonic Outreach stepped in to ensure he received the care he needed.

The cornerstone society

The Cornerstone Society is a special group of donors who have included the California Masonic Foundation in their will or estate plan. A legacy gift to the Foundation supports Masonic philanthropies and ensures that critical fraternal relief and public education will endure for future generations.

The 21st Century Club

The 21st Century Club is a prestigious distinction that recognizes the most generous examples of Masonic charity: Those who have given $10,000 or more to our Masonic charities since the year 2000. These especially generous donors make a lasting impact, helping to advance the fraternity’s charitable causes and providing critical support and relief to those in need.
