To provide support to public schools and communities across Oregon through partnerships with Oregon Masonic Lodges.
To amplify the community-focused projects Oregon Lodges are involved in, Creating a Partnership aims to make a bigger impact on the recipients and community. The Oregon Masonic Charitable Foundation offers 50% reimbursement, paying fifty cents for every dollar a Lodge extends in support of the community. There are two categories of beneficiaries that qualify Lodges for fund reimbursement:
INDIVIDUALS OR FAMILIES – Providing clothing, school supplies, coats, shoes, dental work, eyeglasses, etc. Lodge scholarships are also an eligible form of support.
COMMUNITY PROJECTS – Support sack lunch, backpack, health of reading programs, and other projects operated by charitable or other non-profit organizations. Public entities such as a school, firehouse, or police department also qualify.
Our Vision: An Oregon where all children can realize their full potential through reading.
Our Mission: To spark joy and opportunity through the magic of a shared book.
