The Masonic Service Association of North America is an organization committed to supporting Freemasonry, the nation, and the global community. Established in response to the need for U.S. Freemasonry to assist military personnel towards the end of World War I, MSA was founded in 1919 after Grand Masters convened in Cedar Rapids to create a unified agency for collaboration with government entities.
One of MSA's core missions is disaster relief, with the organization issuing appeals since 1923 to provide aid during crises. Recognized as a trusted Masonic organization in North America, MSA coordinates assistance from Grand Lodges to support relief efforts worldwide. Additionally, MSA's Hospital Visitation Program serves veterans through a network of dedicated representatives and volunteers across various medical facilities in the United States.
Moreover, MSA focuses on educating the public about Freemasonry through its Masonic Information Center, disseminating publications like pamphlets and brochures to promote awareness. Over the past two decades, MSA has distributed educational material to over 3 million individuals, contributing to a better understanding of the Masonic community's values and initiatives.
