Phoenix Society
Recognizing lifetime donors whose generosity fuels North Carolina Masonic charity—today and for generations to come.
Why a Society?
In 1929, the North Carolina Masonic Foundation was organized to grow charity “to great and desirable proportions.” The Phoenix Society honors that vision by celebrating every donor and every gift—annual and lifetime—that strengthens our charitable work now and far into the future.
Program Highlights
• 100% to Charity — Every dollar given to the NCMF General Fund supports Masonic charity—including The Masonic Home for Children at Oxford and the Fraternal Friendship Program.
• Cumulative Recognition — Your lifetime giving is tracked and honored annually across three levels, with meaningful recognition at each tier.
• Built for the Future — Gifts are invested in perpetuity to expand impact over time—helping when and where North Carolina Masonry is called to serve
