The Kansas Masonic Foundation was established in 1966 as a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit organization for the purpose of expanding Masonic Philanthropy in the fields of charitable, educational and scientific programs.  The Foundation is totally funded by voluntary gifts and endowments from Kansas Masons, their families and friends.

No portion of the dues of any Masonic body goes to the Foundation.  Since 1974, the Kansas Masonic Foundation has been making annual gifts to the Kansas Masonic Cancer Research Institute at the University of Kansas Cancer Center in Kansas City, Kansas.  These gifts began at first to assist in the care of cancer patients.  The Foundation changed its direction in 1992 when the grants assisted cancer research.  The Foundation has funded:

• Kansas Masonic Chair in Cancer Research
• William R. Jewell Distinguished Masonic Chair
• The John P. Wolf 33-Degree Masonic Professorship in Urology
• Bob Dole Prostate Cancer Research Fund
• The Capitol Federal Masonic Distinguished Professorship in Cancer
• Mark and Bette Morris Family Chair in Cancer Prevention
• Patient Navigator Endowment
