The Samuel Davis Bequest is one of the lesser known philanthropic endeavors of the Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania. Established in the early 1900’s, the bequest funds assistance to the minor children of deceased Master Masons. If you know of a family of a deceased Pennsylvania Mason that is in need, please contact our Outreach program for more information.
