Masonic charities in action
For generations, Hiram Lodge #25 F&AM has joined hands with our brothers across California to strengthen communities through fellowship, service, and benevolence. Discover how our foundational charitable initiatives create meaningful, lasting impact for families, students, and seniors.
Our key pillars of relief
Freemasonry expresses benevolence through dedicated initiatives designed to uplift individuals at critical turning points in life. We direct our collective energy and resources into three primary charitable programs.
Masonic homes of California
Providing quality residential care and community-based relief to seniors, as well as crucial youth mental health services to support children and their families.
Distressed worthy brother relief fund
Offering vital emergency relief and immediate financial stability to fellow Masons and their families during unforeseen hardships and family emergencies.
California masonic foundation
Investing directly in public education through early childhood literacy, college scholarships, and comprehensive support in under-resourced schools across the state.
A legacy of community care
Founded during California's Gold Rush in 1853, Hiram Lodge #25 continues to honor our heritage by fostering genuine brotherhood and advancing charitable work that touches lives across our region and state.
Empowering the next generation
Through targeted partnerships and literacy campaigns, Masonic philanthropy opens doors for young students who need them most. We believe that when children gain access to reading skills, tutoring, and college scholarships, entire neighborhoods grow more resilient and prosperous. Our brethren take tremendous pride in standing beside students as they build confident paths forward.
Supporting families and seniors
Charity is not merely a virtue we discuss in the lodge room; it is an active duty that shapes everything we do. Whether coordinating senior care resources, responding to natural disasters, or providing quiet aid to brothers in distress, we ensure no member of our extended community walks alone through difficult chapters.
