Mission Statement
All the members of the Order of the Amaranth are aware of the “age-old” concept, that “That Charity is truest and noblest which treads in silence and secrecy all of its ways, not letting the left hand know what the right hand doeth.” To this end, the Order founded the AMARANTH DIABETES FOUNDATION, INC., to raise funds for diabetes research. All money raised is passed directly to the American Diabetes Association for specific research projects. The AMARANTH DIABETES FOUNDATION, INC apply no overhead charges.
About This Cause
Past Supreme Royal Matron, Honored Lady Marie Waters, of Connecticut, started the Foundation. It was her goal to give the Order a specific charity with which it could be associated and work for throughout the year. At the Supreme Assembly of 1979, the Supreme Council adopted the AMARANTH DIABETES FOUNDATION, INC. and established an irrevocable Trust Fund to use for one voluntary charity project. ALL Members of the Order are automatically members of this Foundation. This action was discussed and ultimately taken after several years of legal research on establishing such a single, voluntary charitable project. It is the belief that by so doing, the Order would obtain greater recognition for its philanthropic efforts and donations. Each Subordinate Court and Grand Court was encouraged to continue to support, in addition to local and national organizations or charities of their choice. The Order of the Amaranth is a fraternal organization composed of Master Masons, their female relatives, and a majority of members of the International Order of the Rainbow for Girls, Jobs Daughters International, and any female over the age of eighteen with a recommendation from a Master Mason. Accomplishments In 1979, the Amaranth Diabetes Foundation, Inc. was established, and in the 45 years since then, the Foundation has donated over 18 million dollars to the American Diabetes Association (ADA). The ADA presented the Supreme Council Order of the Amaranth the “Charles H. Best” Medal in 1996 for distinguished service in the fight to find a cure for diabetes. Supreme Royal Matron, Honored Lady Sara Ann Seibert, and Supreme Royal Patron, Sir Knight Richard D. “Ned” Kelly, were honored to accept the award on behalf of the Supreme Council.
