This funder is the charitable arm of the Scottish Rite (Northern Masonic Jurisdiction) and concentrates on supporting Masonic institutions and programs in Connecticut alongside its long-standing priority of funding dyslexia remediation for children. Grants combine direct support for Masonic governance and youth leadership (DeMolay) with targeted service delivery (Children's Dyslexia Center) and member welfare through an almoners fund. Much of the giving appears locally focused and mission-driven rather than broad public philanthropy.
Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry Nmj gives through a clearly internal, mission-centered pattern: its largest 2024 award was an aggregated $128,365 to smaller awards under $5,000, alongside direct support for the Children’s Dyslexia Center of Ct, the Ct Council of Deliberation, the Almoners Fund, and the Demolay Fund. That mix shows a funder focused on Masonic institutions, youth development, and member assistance rather than broad public grantmaking. The foundation’s charitable work also reflects a long-standing priority around dyslexia remediation for children in Connecticut, where that service delivery appears as a named program recipient. At the same time, the grant list shows support for governance and internal coordination through the state council body, plus relief-oriented funding for Masonic families through the almoners fund. The result is a grantmaking profile built around sustaining the Scottish Rite’s own programs, affiliated organizations, and member-serving assistance structures.
One major theme is children’s dyslexia remediation. In 2024, Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry Nmj gave $96,131 to the Chrildren’s Dyslexia Center of Ct, underscoring the role of direct educational support in its grant portfolio. Another theme is Masonic governance and coordination in Connecticut: the foundation awarded $29,021 to the Ct Council of Deliberation, indicating support for statewide Masonic body functions. Member assistance is another visible area. The $22,028 grant to the Almoners Fund points to charitable help directed toward Masonic families and welfare needs. Youth leadership also appears in the $8,000 award to the Demolay Fund, connecting the foundation to character and leadership development within the Masonic youth tradition.
The foundation’s 2024 grant sizes cluster around a median of $29,021, with a lower quartile of $22,028 and an upper quartile of $96,131. That spread suggests a mix of mid-sized program and operating support, plus a much larger pool of smaller awards aggregated under $5,000. The grant list points to recurring mission-based funding rather than one-off community philanthropy, since the recipients are affiliated Masonic institutions, member-relief funds, and a Connecticut dyslexia center. It is a public charity and does not fund individuals or program-related investments.
