The Keystone of Life Foundation

The Keystone of Life Foundation is a charitable Society started by a group of Royal Arch Masons in 1975. The Foundation is incorporated under the Societies Act and is recognized by the Grand Chapter of BC and Yukon.

Our objective is to purchase medical equipment for hospitals and similar institutions in BC & Yukon.

Funds to carry out this objective are derived from membership fees, donations, bequests and legacies and fund raising projects.

Income Tax deductible receipts are issued for all memberships & donations made to the Foundation.

Individual annual membership fee is $25.00.
Chapter annual membership fee is  $25.00

A Life Membership fee is calculated based on age as specified in our pamphlets. Information is available form your Scribe E, Grand Chapter and the Keystone executive.

We accept requests for equipment from hospitals throughout British Columbia and Yukon. Since there is a continuing demand for equipment we are always looking for new members.

Donation

April 20, 2010

MEC Brian Richman and MEC Alastair Ross present a cheque for $4, 842.21 to David Clark, Executive Director and Karen Horton, Director of Community Events, Eagle Ridge Hospital Foundation, Port Moody.

The funds went to the purchase of a portable Vital Signs Monitor.  It is a light weight piece of medical equipment which is very easy to wheel around, can complete several diagnostic functions and they are delighted with it. 

The Keystone of Life Foundation is very active and in 2009 grants of $8,300.00 were made to hospitals in the Lower Mainland for two items of specialized medical equipment they required.  In the past many grants have been made to other local hospitals around the Province.

We rely almost totally on individual and chapter memberships and donations received.  We welcome new members and chapter memberships.  

Chapters can appoint one of their companions to represent them at our monthly meetings.
