Masonic Charitable Foundation – Advancing the Fight Against AMD: The Research Journey of PhD Student Richard Scharff

At the heart of the Freemasons' philanthropic mission is a deep-seated belief in the power of research to transform lives and communities. By funding innovative studies across a broad spectrum of medical fields, from oncology and neurology to mental health and geriatrics, Freemasons play a critical role in the global quest to alleviate suffering and enhance quality of life.

This commitment is vividly embodied in their sponsorship of medical research grants, a pivotal effort that seeks not only to uncover new scientific knowledge but also to pave the way for ground-breaking treatments and cures for some of humanity’s most daunting health challenges.
