Mission

Founded in 1993, the Dayton Masonic Foundation maintains one of Dayton's oldest and most beautiful landmarks, the Masonic Temple Building. The building is located in the City of Dayton and is listed on the United States Register of Historical Properties. The Foundation maintains the building in its original condition. It also supports organizations in the area who promote and inspire individuals to serve their community and country by providing them with a place to conduct their programs. Finally, the Foundation provides general scholarships to assist deserving students from the fourteen-county area in attaining a higher education and rants to qualified exempt organizations who administer to the poor and needy of the communities in the Valley of Dayton.
