This foundation focuses almost exclusively on Masonic and allied fraternal institutions and their health-care affiliates, making sizable unrestricted gifts to statewide and national Masonic charities. Grants are concentrated and repetitive, directed at a small set of organizations that support fraternal membership infrastructure and specialty medical care (particularly pediatric and eye care).
Concentrated giving: a small number of mid-sized, unrestricted grants repeatedly paid to the same Masonic-affiliated organizations (multiple similar-sized grants to each top grantee).
Major Floyd J Morris Jr Foundation Wc852 gives repeatedly to a small circle of Masonic and fraternal institutions, with unrestricted checks flowing to lodge infrastructure, pediatric care, and eye-care affiliates. The recent record shows the same core recipients returning year after year: Masonic Temple Association, Texas Scottish Rite Hospital, Shriners Hospital for Children, and Knights Templar Eye Foundation Inc. That pattern points to a funder that supports the operating needs of allied fraternal organizations rather than funding one-off projects. The foundation’s grantmaking is organized around Masonic channels and the health-care institutions linked to them. Its recipients include a local temple association in Fort Worth, a Dallas hospital tied to Scottish Rite philanthropy, a national children’s hospital network in Tampa, and an eye foundation in Flower Mound. The gifts are labeled unrestricted donation, which signals flexible support for recipients’ own priorities. Across the latest grants, the foundation sustains a compact portfolio of organizations serving fraternal membership structures and specialty medical care.

In 2023 and 2025, the foundation gave unrestricted donations to Masonic Temple Association in Fort Worth, TX, including $12,364 in 2023 and $11,014 in 2025.
