Masons are builders. Where once we built magnificent structures, today we build character. Steeped in tradition and ceremony, our values are based on a bedrock of friendship and philanthropy. We believe that harmony between diverse individuals is a powerful force for good. And just as ancient stonemasons perfected their craft, we employ timeless lessons that create meaningful change in ourselves, stronger communities around us, and a better world for all.Masonry is the world’s first and largest fraternal organization. Headquartered in San Francisco atop historic Nob Hill, the Masons of California are a nonprofit organization with more than 40,000 members statewide. We provide an engaging and relevant membership experience through a wide variety of member services, including educational programming, leadership development opportunities, charitable initiatives, and supportive services.
