How Can I Help
Greatest Need
Gifts to the Benevolent Fund truly represent the kindest gifts of compassion and mercy. This fund provides for our Brothers and their spouses who have outlived their financial resources through no fault of their own, providing housing, medical, and other necessary expenses.
Your gifts provide Masonic Assistance, and allow us to fulfill our promise and provide perpetual support for one of the central values of The Ohio Masonic Communities.
Last year, more than $8 million was granted in charitable care for those in our communities and for The Ohio Masonic Communities Resource Center.
The need is overwhelming. With increases in life expectancy and the aging population, it is vital that we grow support for the Benevolent Fund to meet the anticipated needs of those in our care and for those living in the community.
Enrichment of Life Fund
Today. Together. Tomorrow.
More than just a snappy slogan, monies raised for this cause are used to make enhancements that benefit all residents living on our campuses in Springfield, Waterville and Medina, OH. Support generally aids resident activities, enhanced amenities and small improvement projects.
Benevolent Fund
Early in their Masonic journey a Freemason is put in a penniless situation as a way to instill upon him that it is his obligation to help his fellow being, without putting himself at risk, whenever possible. Similar to the Masonic Financial Assistance, The Ohio Masonic Communities has established a Benevolent Care Fund in support of residents whose financial resources are inadequate to carry them through retirement. The Ohio Masonic Communities has never asked an individual to leave because they have run out of sufficient resources to see them through. Generous gifts from individual donors, organizations and foundations enables The Ohio Masonic Communities to continue that important tradition in support of the greater community.
Employee HOPE Program
Helping Our People Every Day is the purpose behind the Employee HOPE Program. Established in 2017, donations to this cause provide limited financial assistance to eligible employees who are experiencing economic hardship due to certain emergency situations. This program is primarily sustained by contributions from The Ohio Masonic Communities employees and serves as an extension of the values and mission of The Ohio Masonic Communities. Our objective is to remove some of the everyday stresses that can be potential pitfalls to providing those we serve with the care, compassion and concern that they deserve.
