Nebraska
Masonic Foundation
The Foundation was formed in 1985 by a group
of concerned Brothers. The Nebraska Masonic Foundation is a charitable
foundation and is tax-exempt under IRC Section 501c(3). Nebraska Masons are
members of the Foundation by virtue of their gift(s) to the Foundation.
Foundation funds are used for sponsoring educational scholarships
through direct donations and through restricted funds and trusts, such as
the Kimball and Pierce Scholarship Trusts. The Foundation maintains a
library and museum, and also provides annual
scholarships for band students in the Masonic All-Star Marching Band. The
Foundation is a supporter of the Nebraska Freemasons CHild
Identification Program (CHIP).
The Nebraska
Masonic Home
The Nebraska Masonic Home was incorporated in
1888 and established on September 1, 1903 in Plattsmouth, Nebraska. The Home
is dedicated to enhancing the quality of life of its residents by offering a
continuum of care through gracious assisted living and quality nursing care
to eligible members of the Masonic family.
Masonic-Eastern Star Home for Children
The Children's Home was founded by two fraternal
organizations, the Masonic Lodge and the Order of the Eastern Star, to
provide care for homeless children. The purpose of the Home is to provide
quality care for children who have been separated from their homes because
of death, divorce, separation, neglect, abuse, or inability to adjust to
their present living situation. The Home seeks to provide an environment of
love, security, and acceptance where a child can grow and develop as an
individual.
