Pledged Gifts

Through the Scottish Rite Pledge Program, an individual may pledge to donate to the Supreme Council’s charities or to their local Scottish Rite foundation a certain sum per year for a period of up to five years or may make a pledge that will be satisfied through a specific bequest in the donor’s will or living trust. If you make a pledge, the Supreme Council will recognize you according to the Scottish Rite Donor Recognition Program for the full amount of that pledge at the time you make the commitment rather than when it is fully paid.

Though a legacy gift, you have the opportunity to support the Scottish Rite philanthropic mission in a significant way. Your legacy will help us support the House of the Temple building, library and museums, as well as programs, such as RiteCare®, which provides evaluation and treatment to children with speech and learning disabilities. These gifts may fund our disaster relief programs for people affected by disasters like Katrina and September 11. Our scholarship program, which provides educational opportunities for college and vocational students, is also funded with the help of your legacy gift. By including the Scottish Rite charities in your estate plans, you will leave a legacy that passes the philanthropic principles of Freemasonry to our future generations.

For more information on these giving opportunities and other planned gift programs, contact the Supreme Council’s Office of Development at (866) 748-3227 or (866) 448-3773.
