Charitable Giving
Although Masonic ritual varies between jurisdictions, a consistent message conveyed to every candidate is that charity is an essential part of Freemasonry. From this philosophy comes much of a 'Mason's work', given freely and willingly. Charity comes in many forms, both large and small.
No website could ever completely list all of the charitable work done by Freemasons. There are many which are local and private. In fact, much Masonic charity occurs in this quiet way. Beyond our focus on individual development which leads to better membership in the community, Urania Lodge is deeply involved in helping all people of our community. The Freemasons of North America contribute over two million dollars a day to charitable causes.
