Donations

There are four categories of gift-giving available to anyone who wishes to make a donation to any of our Masonic Charities of the R.W. Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania.

For information on these categories, please click the desired link below:

• Bequest Gifts: One of the most personally satisfying things a person can do is make the world a better place for someone else. Through the years, many brethren and friends have included a charitable provision in their wills for one or more of the Masonic Charities. The resulting estate contributions have had a tremendous impact on the work of the Masonic Charities and have touched the lives of many... leaving a wonderful legacy of love and compassion.

• Donate Online: Gifts of cash, honor gifts and memorials can be made online by completing secure, convenient forms that designate the reason for your gift.

• Outright Gifts: These may include cash or other assets that you wish to donate to a Masonic charity immediately. There are favorable tax advantages - involving both income and capital gains taxes - associated with many outright gifts. To make an outright gift, you will need to speak with a gift planning staff member.

• Life Income Gifts: These are gifts made over a period of time, and which are designed to meet your specific financial goals while also benefitting a Masonic charity. These goals may include retirement income, transfer of assets to your heirs, or even assisting a family member with college expenses. As with outright gifts, there can be favorable income, capital gains, or estate tax advantages to planned gifts. In the case of some planned gifts, these consequences can be significant. To make a life income gift, you will need to speak with a gift planning staff member.
