Lodges across the Jurisdiction support their communities in ways specific to local needs. Washington Masonic Services (WAMS) is offering matching grants to partner with Lodges, doubling their impact.

WAMS will match up to $1,500 of Lodge funds given for qualified efforts withing the community. We’re continually reviewing proposals, which are awarded on a first come, first served basis. A Lodge may submit more than one proposal each year. Awards will fall into one of two categories:

• Youth Education – Efforts supporting Pre-K through 12th grade education. Examples include:
  •  School supplies for elementary school teachers
  • Back-to-school clothing or backpacks

• Community – Efforts meeting essential needs (food, clothing, shelter, etc.). Examples include:
  • Holiday meals for the local food bank
  • Teen employment training
  • Masons Helping Neighbors (ex. Brothers helping with projects like safety efforts, yard cleanup, home upkeep, etc.)

Please note that Scholarships and Bikes for Books are not eligible for Lodge Match as these programs may be supported through fiscal sponsorships.
