The Masonic Foundation of Ontario was expressly created to broaden
Masonic Charity in Ontario beyond the confines of the fraternity and thereby to
integrate Freemasonry into the community and give the community a greater awareness of the ideals of Freemasonry.

A child identification program sponsored by the Grand Lodge of Canada in the Province of Ontario, uses modern, police-approved techniques to create child identification kits for children.
Special Projects undertaken by Masonic Districts and Lodges
District Projects were initiated by the Foundation in 1973. These more local projects are identified by lodges and districts and must be in support of qualified charitable organizations and must be approved by the Foundation. The projects typically run for one year but can be for a longer period. The Foundation provides a top-up amount of 10% of the amount locally raised to a maximum of $1,000. District charitable projects raise in excess of $200,000 annually across Ontario.
