The Masonic Charity Foundation of New Jersey was established in 1930 as a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization. Ever since, our donors have generously supported our mission.
The Foundation values our partnerships with both individual donors and corporate sponsors. Whether gifts are for general operating support or for a specific purpose, the generosity of our donors continues to make a real difference in the lives of those we serve.
Donors can direct their gifts to benefit those who they want to help: the Masonic Village's residents, student scholarship recipients, member Masons and their loved ones, others in our community.
The Foundation's giving programs have been designed to meet our donor's varied philanthropic interests and objectives.
