Indiana Masonic Home and Masonic Home Foundation

IMH – A Century of Trust Opened in 1916 8,000 Master Masons, their wives and widows and members of the Order of the Eastern Star Currently, we have over 380 residents The Indiana Masonic Home has welcomed over 8,000 Master Masons, their wives and widows, and members of the Order of the Eastern Star during its 95 year history. This special community has continued to parallel the steadfast legacy of the Masons it honors. Their tenets of brotherly love, relief and truth form the cornerstones of our dedication to uncompromising care. We also operated an orphanage and school (elementary and high school). The last “Home Kid” left in the 1970s, but a number have returned in retirement. The school building, which later was operated by the Franklin schools and ended its life as the home of the Indiana Freemason magazine and gift shop, was demolished in the early 1980s to make room for the north campus cottages.

IMH Board Vision To Become the Retirement Community of Choice for Indiana Freemasons Noble goal, and one we at IMHF share, but ... Oldest apartments are 100 years old, and newest apartments are over 30 years old; Newest part of the Medical Center is 33 years old, and oldest part (where our memory care patients live) is 57 years old; We do not have the amenities that today's retirees, including Freemasons, want. Noble goal, and one that we at IMHF share, but ... Oldest apartments are 100 years old, and newest apartments are 40 years old; Newest part of the Medical Center is 40 years old, and oldest part (where our memory care patients live) is 60 years old; We do not have the amenities that today's retirees, including Freemasons, want. And, more than 40% of our residents have outlived their financial resources and need our fraternal care. That's where IMHF comes in - to provide fraternal care and support projects that benefit the campus.

Indiana Masonic Home Foundation Helping to preserve our Indiana Masonic Home for 76 years by providing funds for the Home’s fraternal mission and projects that benefit the entire campus.

Mission The Indiana Masonic Home Foundation successfully raises, prudently invests, and faithfully distributes charitable funds to support causes that promote the principal Masonic tenets of brotherly love, relief and truth.

The Results Since 1980, the IMHF has remitted $65.5 million to the operating fund of the Masonic Home and $71.5 million overall. The need continues because more than 40% of the residents are on fraternal care, and the campus needs improvements.

We walk by Faith IMHF recently announced gift of up to $12 million to: Construct a community center on the ground formerly occupied by Bretzlaff Hall and the Scottish Rite Memorial Building. Make associated improvements. Grand Master broke ground May 18, 2014; cornerstone will be dedicated September 7, 2014; completion is expected Spring 2015.

Life goes on At the same time that we open the new facility, life goes on in the rest of the community – residential, healthcare, activities, and religious. Operational costs must be supported. Fraternal care continues. Other facilities need to be updated. Even as we look to exciting possibilities, we have to deal with the present.

Remember According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics consumer price indexes calculator, it took a donation of $217.05 in 2013 to equal the buying power of $100 in 1985. Using the Indiana Masonic Home rental plan rates as a guide, a $100 Gold Card will support a fraternal care resident for about one day in an efficiency apartment in the Ball Brothers. It takes 243 Gold Cards to support a resident in a one-room apartment for a year.

We must act on Faith If we are not annual donors, become donors. If we are donors, consider increasing our $100 donations to $365 (only a dollar a day), our $250 donations to $500, our $500 donations to $1,000, and our $1,000 donation to $2,000 or even more.

We must act on Faith When the time comes… that we will no longer need our assets, and after we have provided for the welfare of our families, keep the Indiana Masonic Home Foundation in mind. The future of the Indiana Masonic Home will be assured. Many of us, including our friends and loved ones, may depend upon this care during the declining years.
