About Supreme Council Benevolent Foundation Aasr
The Supreme Council Benevolent Foundation AASR concentrates its funding on Scottish Rite–aligned priorities: support for dyslexia diagnosis/treatment and literacy services, stewardship of Freemasonry history through its Scottish Rite museum, and targeted schizophrenia research at major medical centers. Grants are mission-driven and operational in nature, often directed to organizations connected to the Scottish Rite (education/charity arm and museum) as well as repeat research partners at universities and medical foundations.

About Supreme Council Benevolent Foundation Aasr
Supreme Council Benevolent Foundation Aasr’s recent grantmaking is anchored by two recurring operating commitments: $500,000 to Children’s Dyslexia Centers Inc in 2023, followed by $425,000 in both 2024 and 2025, and parallel support for the Scottish Rite Masonic Museum and Library Inc at $359,590 in 2023 and $335,000 in each of the next two years. Those grants show a foundation that funds core institutional costs rather than isolated project awards. The same pattern extends to the Supreme Council Education and Charity Fund, which received $100,000 in 2023 and $50,000 in 2024 and 2025 for scholarship support. Beyond these larger commitments, the foundation also backs schizophrenia research at medical and research institutions, including Indiana University’s medical school, Yale University School of Medicine, and the Brain & Behavior Research Foundation. Across the portfolio, the funding profile is mission-driven and tied to Scottish Rite priorities: literacy and dyslexia services, cultural stewardship, scholarships, and targeted mental health research.
What Supreme Council Benevolent Foundation Aasr Funds
Children’s dyslexia support is one of the clearest themes in the portfolio. The foundation gave $425,000 in 2025 to Children’s Dyslexia Centers Inc for operations support, following similar support in prior years. In cultural heritage, it provided $335,000 in 2025 to Scottish Rite Masonic Museum and Library Inc for museum and library operations support, continuing a repeated operating commitment. Scholarship support appears through the Supreme Council Education and Charity Fund, which received $50,000 in 2025 for education and charities fund scholarship support. Research funding is narrower and more specialized: in 2023, the foundation gave $30,000 each to Indiana School of Medicine Co Indiana University Foundation, Brain & Behavior Research Foundation, and Yale University School of Medicine for schizophrenia research.
How Supreme Council Benevolent Foundation Aasr Gives
Grant size is uneven, with a typical award of $15,000 at the 25th percentile, a median of $40,000, and a 75th percentile of $335,000. The pattern is strongly recurring: several recipients appear across 2023, 2024, and 2025, and the largest lines are multi-year operating commitments rather than one-time awards. The foundation is an organization-level funder, not an individual grantmaker, and it does not make program-related investments. The recent record also shows repeated support to the same institutions over time, especially in the dyslexia, museum, scholarship, and research categories.
