Minnesota Masonic Charities has made two matching grants to gifts Unity Chapter No. 29 Order of the Eastern Star made in Austin.
Unity made a $100 gift to the Austin High School band and a $200 gift to Commander Ronald Hanson of the Disabled American Veterans Arnold Brandt Chapter No. 27 earlier this year. A grant program allowed for Unity to request and obtain the matching donations.
