Building the Foundation
More than 100 years ago, the Grand Lodge of Michigan recognized the need for a facility to care for senior Masons and their families. In 1891, the first original Masonic Home opened near Reed’s Lake in Grand Rapids.
To meet the financial responsibilities associated with maintaining the Masonic Home, the Michigan Masonic Charitable Foundation was established and supported by dedicated Masons who were determined to give life to the term “brotherhood” not only to the organization, but also to the community.
The Foundation’s charitable focus areas include Masonic assistance to Brothers and their families and supporting community organizations such as promoting literacy, education and public safety, alleviating hunger, and supporting family and youth services. Tackling immediate challenges, enriching lives and deepening the connection between Lodges and their communities is a primary goal for the Foundation.
