The Fund was established in 1959 with a sum of money donated for the purpose of perpetuating the name of V.E. Sir Knight Joseph M. Karmel in the annals of the Grand Council of Knight Masons, as he was an active and devoted member of the Chivalric Masonic Order of Knight Masons.
The object of the Fund is to provide assistance to or for the benefit of “any subscribing Knight Mason who may be in need of emergency financial assistance (or in the case of a deceased Knight Mason, one who was subscribing at the time of his decease), or for the benefit of any widow of his or any child up to the age of twenty-one years who may be in need of emergency financial assistance.”
