Overview

The following information was taken from The Masonic Angle Fund home page 

The Masonic Angel Fund™ is the fastest-growing Masonic charity anywhere. Founded in 1998 by the members of Universal Lodge A.F. & A.M. in Orleans, Massachusetts, the "MAF" has spread to 128 Lodges in 12 states. The Masonic Angel Fund™ is changing kids' lives - one community at a time, one child at a time.

One of the fundamental principles of the Masonic Angel Fund™ program is that 100% of the money raised by a local Lodge's Masonic Angel Fund™ stays in that community and goes to the kids.


The Fund provides modest assistance to children in need who do not fit the criteria for the usual social-service programs. Such assistance might be to provide a pair of glasses, a coat, shoes, field trip fees or minor health services. MAF benevolences can cover almost any need that will enhance a child's learning experience - some Masonic Angel Funds even provide scholarships for music and fine arts instruction. Applications for assistance will be fulfilled via confidential requests from local school principals, counselors and school nurses.
 

Not only is the Masonic Angel Fund™ an excellent program for the community - it is also a positive force to create enthusiasm amongst the Craft by providing opportunities to do generous things for children. The Angel Fund is a successful vehicle for presenting Freemasonry to the community as a socially relevant, beneficial body of normal, everyday people and for helping to dispel our aura of mystery.

Best of all, each Masonic Angel Fund™ is managed by members of your local Masonic Lodge. Each local MAF agrees to maintain standards set forth by the Masonic Angel Foundation, Inc. Within the scope of the "Ten Standards" observed by every MAF - all decision-making is done by local Trustees who are selected by their own Lodge.

The Masonic Angel Foundation, Inc. was established by members of Universal Lodge on July 1, 2000. Its mission is to facilitate the adoption of Masonic Angel Funds™ by other Masonic Lodges around the nation. In addition to propagating local MAF's, the Foundation offers grant funding opportunities to schools served by a Masonic Angel Fund™ and the Lodges that adopt an Angel Fund. Almost any Masonic body from any Jurisdiction is welcome to adopt a Masonic Angel Fund™ for its community.

Due to the costs associated with an internet collection agency, we have decided to keep costs down and ask all visiting Brethren  to mail their Donations.  By not paying an outside agency, more money can go to the children.  We thank you for your support.
