Washington Masonic Services
Washington Masonic Services is a charitable arm of the Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of Washington. Their mission is to create and promote a culture of philanthropy through a variety of programs including:
- Outreach Services: Outreach Services aim to build hope, agency, and dignity for the people we serve, nurturing their leadership and independence. Our program objectives are for clients to have quality support to meet their family’s needs in aging; and assistance to meet basic needs for dignified living.
- Youth Investment: Youth Investment builds bridges to help connect young people to pathways for their future. The WAMS Scholarship Program’s purpose is that qualified young people can further their education. This growing effort includes four scholarships giving 17 awards, including tracks targeting Masonic Youth Groups, and youth from families who have immigrated to the US.
- Library & Museum: The archives and exhibits of the Washington Masonic Library & Museum tell the story of Freemasonry’s role in the creation and growth of Washington State. The collection houses approximately 50,000 books and documents, 3,000 Masonic-related objects, and more than 250,000 physical and digital photographic and other images. The collection is available to researchers and the community for analysis, education, and personal growth.
