Donate to the Acadia Commandery
The Order is truly a charitable Order. The Chancery Office of the Grand Priory in Canada is made up of a complement of volunteers distributed from across Canada and conducting the 'business of the Order' online and remotely to help reduce the cost of overhead. Any operating expenses incurred (domain and web hosting, zoom account, stationary, publishing costs for the Caregivers Guide, etc.) are funded by a small portion of the member's annual oblations or fees. The end result is that nearly 100% of all charitable donations received are directed to the missions of the Grand Priory in Canada and our charitable causes.
Since 1974, the members of the Acadia Commandery have raised and contributed approximately $72,540 to various charitable projects.
