Ideal Applicant
Local California organizations or individuals focused on scholarships, education, community service, historical preservation, or small operating support; applicants with a local presence or ties to the Scottish Rite network.
Good Fit
- • Located in California, preferably the San Diego region.
- • Programs that provide scholarships, educational support, or local community services.
- • Modest funding requests in line with typical awards (most grants under $5K; occasional larger awards).
- • Existing relationship or endorsement from Scottish Rite networks or local Masonic contacts.
- • Clear local impact and demonstrated operational capacity for small-to-medium grants.
Geography
Recent grantmaking is concentrated entirely in California in the latest year; over the three-year record nearly all dollars went to in-state recipients with only an isolated out-of-state award earlier.
Recipient Variety
The latest year funded 31 distinct recipients including individuals (scholarships) and a range of nonprofit and foundation partners, with a mix of small awards and a few larger recurring grants; this indicates a broad set of independent beneficiaries despite some dollar concentration.
New Applicants
The foundation posts scholarship application materials and a named contact and also shows new recipients each year (9 new in the latest year), but it also notes that some grants are preselected and several larger organizational grants recur, so organizational awards appear relationship-driven while scholarship pathways are more public.
