Estate of MWB Royal Scofield Launches Charity Endowment Fund

Royal C. Scofield, Past Grand Master and nationally known for his promotion of Masonic education, left a gift in his estate designated for a charitable program in the Grand Lodge of Ohio.

Most Worshipful Brother Scofield died on November 27, 2006, at the age of 93.

With the estate gift, the Grand Lodge of Ohio has created the Royal C. Scofield Charity Endowment fund to support the Masonic Model Student Assistance Program in Ohio.

The goal of the new Endowment Fund will be, by increasing its size, to finance the Masonic Model Program, without the need of using Grand Lodge administrative funds. In the past year, Lodges have also contributed money to assist the Masonic Model effort and these will be added to the Endowment Fund. Only the interest from the fund may be used; the principle must remain invested.
