The Scottish Rite is not a philanthropic organization by its nature but does involve itself in a number of philanthropic endeavors. Among these are the Kansas City Scottish Rite Foundation which is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the preservation of the Kansas City Scottish Rite Temple, The Almoners Fund which uses its money to assist area citizens in need, and the Kansas City Rite Care Clinic for Childhood Language Disorders. The Clinic is operated and staffed by Children's Mercy Hospital and relies on funding from donations generated by the Scottish Rite of Kansas City, its members and friends in the community.
