Charitable Gift Planning
A gift for eternity to support the California Masonic charities will change someone's life. It will also change yours.
When you give to California Masonic charities, you get more than a potential tax deduction. Giving to our mission to provide education, heal young hearts and care for vulnerable seniors can create unequaled personal, emotional and spiritual fulfillment.
Join with thousands of Masons who have, in a sense, become Masons forever by making a gift for eternity. You will also become a member of the Cornerstone Society, which celebrates the legacy of donors to California’s Masonic philanthropies who have chosen to provide for the future through their charitable estates. It is our hope that their example of leadership and generosity will inspire others in our Masonic family to do the same.
There are as many different ways to make a gift for eternity and support our Masonic charities as there are needs for your support. If you are not familiar with gifts through bequests and trusts, it will be helpful for you to look at Charitable Gift Planning Goals, an overview of common charitable gift planning opportunities. Some of the gift options provide you and your beneficiaries with income for life as well as possible tax benefits. To go directly to specific gift options, click on the options below.

This gift design calculator will enable you to see the potential
results of planning a gift to the Masonic Homes of California or the California Masonic Foundation.
Designing your gift can involve detailed computations, so please feel free to contact us about
the calculations and to confidentially discuss the potentials of your gift based on your personal circumstances.
If you have already included a Masonic charity in your estate plans, please contact us. We want
to help you ensure your intentions will be properly carried out as well as include you in the Cornerstone Society. Your gift
may be an inspiration to others to join you in making a gift for eternity.
Individual circumstances will vary. As with all tax and estate planning, please consult your attorney or estate specialist.
