We the Freemasons are the sole "sponsor" of the Masonic Safety Identification initiatives as developed in our various Masonic Grand Lodge Jurisdictions. As such we schedule the Events and coordinate the equipment, materials and volunteers necessary to conduct events. All groups and individuals are welcome to work along side, but they are not referred as sponsors but listed and involved as "supporters", "supporting partners", "corporate partners", "in collaboration with....", or "in cooperation with....".
Each state program is encouraged to forge "Supporting Partners" for their own specific initiative. We at Masonichip International collaborate with other national and international non-profit organizations and corporations in the arena of public safety, to spur public awareness of Masonic Safety ID and keep abreast of technological advances. It falls on each individual Masonic jurisdiction to forge working relationships and partnerships with groups/ individuals/ businesses in their local areas interested in keeping our community safe. Currently many of our Masonichip initiatives have partnered various local Law Enforcement agencies, Crime Prevention Officers Organizations and Sheriff's Department or associations. Other partnerships include local Womans' Clubs, other civic organizations, constituent State Dental Societies and Associations of the American Dental Association (ADA), the Dental Hygienist and/or Dental Assistants Associations.
There is room for all in the Arena of Child ID, Abduction Awareness and Prevention Education.
No one organization can do it alone as we endeavor to enlist support and involve all.
