How are the Scottish Rite Charitable Foundation Learning Centres being established in Canada?
The Scottish Rite Freemasons in a given area must make a formal declaration of their willingness to be responsible for organizing and administering a Learning Centre in their area, and for raising some of the funds needed to initiate and continue a Centre, thus becoming the sponsor of a particular Centre. The Scottish Rite Charitable Foundation has established the governance structure, which is incorporated in an extensive Handbook which must be followed precisely. The Foundation also provides some startup and continuing operating funds, as well as an Executive Director who oversees compliance.
