How Partnering To Honor Works:

For the Partnering To Honor (PTH) Program, the Masonic Home of Missouri is proud to partner with Lodges and Chapters to support veterans in their communities. Through this program, the Masonic Home will match $2 for every $1 raised by a participating Lodge or Chapter, helping expand the impact of your support for veterans.

The maximum we will match each fiscal year is $15,000 per Lodge or Chapter. That means every Lodge and every Chapter has the opportunity to donate $45,000 to the needs of veterans in their community!

Ways for Lodges & Chapters to Participate:

Honor Flights

Honor Flights helps veterans visit war memorials in Washington D.C. The Masonic Home works with Lodges and Chapters to help fund this opportunity for veterans.

Care Packages

Care Packages for veterans or active duty members can be funded by Lodges and Chapters. The matching funds can go toward specific items for the care packages, such as food, clothing, and hygiene items, but cannot go toward general operating expenses.

Collaborative Outreach

The program continues grow, many Lodges and Chapters have asked about additional ways to partner with the Masonic Home to support veterans. If your Lodge or Chapter is interested in exploring new opportunities’ through the PTH Program, we encourage you to contact us. Areas for expansion include organizations supporting mental health, housing assistance, family assistance, and more.

To submit an application to fund Honor Flights, care packages, clothing or food pantries, your Lodge/Chapter would need to submit the application and funds to the Masonic Home.

  1. Gather information about the organization:
    • What is the organization’s mission?
    • How do they assist veterans?
    • Is the organization a 501(C)(3) or government entity?
    • How would the PTH funds be used?
  2. Contact the Masonic Home and speak to Tisha Woodard, Partnership Programs Coordinator, sharing the information gathered above and supporting documentation.
  3. The inquiry will go to the Board of Directors for discussion. (The Board meets monthly).
  4. The Board of Directors may have additional questions. If they do, staff will follow-up with the Lodge/Chapter for more information to be presented at the next meeting.
  5. The Board of Directors will either approve or deny the request and a staff member will relay the decision to the Lodge/Chapter.
