The Kansas Masonic Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization established for the purpose of expanding Masonic philanthropy in the fields of charitable, educational and scientific programs. While other community-based clubs promote events to raise money for charity, the Masons primarily donate funds directly from their members without any outside solicitation to the public.
Kansas Masons, through the Kansas Masonic Foundation, have provided more than $50 million to charitable endeavors over the years. At the Kansas Masonic Foundation, we believe: men of good character provide strong, selfless leadership; in fostering a brotherhood of dutiful stewards; charity beyond ourselves strengthens our communities; a supreme being guides our decision-making.
