Who We Are
LOVE IN ACTION
Methods of handling charity are different in every lodge across the world. Some lodges disburse charity funds from their General Fund and other lodges disburse funds from a special Charity Account fund. Specific charity circumstances alter decisions in every lodge. Here is how the members of our Lodge gives back.

The TMCF works with local Masonic Lodges to help distribute funds. It's MOTTO: Faith, Hope, Charity: Masonic Charities Helping People. The Lodge’s charity must be approved by the TMCF Board, and the allocated funds can only be spent for that approved charity.
