For a number of reasons:
- Not only are you performing a Masonic duty in providing for the relief of worthy, distressed Master Masons and their families, you are assisting in maintaining a tradition of care, concern and compassion which has existed in Franklin for nearly 90 years and has served more than 7,000 adult residents and presently has over 480 residents.
- Including charitable giving in your estate or other financial planning may provide significant tax benefits, potentially greatly reducing your tax liability to the government and still enabling you to provide for family and friends as well as your charitable interests.
