The Royal Arch Masons have formed a partnership with the Community, the Nation and the World through our Royal Arch Charities. This partnership provides a wide range of benefits through scholarships, through medical research and through the Lung disease fund.

The Scholarship Program is an investment in the future leaders of our Community and our Nation through our $500 and $1,000 scholarships to our children and grandchildren. Our Goal is to double the $500 award to $1,000. This program helps to educate the future leaders of the Community.

The Royal Arch Medical Research Fund is our way to invest in the community and benefit mankind by remitting funds to the MMRL, sponsoring Fellowships to those working in the Medical Laboratory in Utica, making annual donations to some hospital in need of equipment such as Breathing Assistance Equipment.

The Diseases of the Lung Program is a well endowed but not well known part of the Royal Arch Charities. It was originally started as "The Tuberculosis Fund". When a cure for tuberculosis was discovered and the disease virtually eliminated it was renamed. This fund underwrites the medical expenses of our members and their families who suffer from lung illness, such as Lung Cancer, that are not totally covered by medical insurance.

It is through the continuing effort and support of the Royal Arch Masons that we are able to continue to carry out and expand these important works.
