The Order of the Amaranth is a fraternal organization comprised of both men and women with Masonic affiliation. Although belief in God is requisite for joining our order, Amaranth is not a religious organization, and many different faiths are represented. In our teachings, the members are reminded of their duties to God, to their country, and to their fellow beings. They are urged to portray their belief in the Golden Rule and in TRUTH, FAITH, WISDOM, and CHARITY, the virtues of our order, while extending the hand of fraternal friendship to those in need.
The Order of Amaranth is a also a dedicated philanthropic organization. In 1979, the Supreme Council established the Trust Fund "Amaranth Diabetes Foundation, INC" in order to focus its charity work on one major project. The purpose of this foundation is to fund grants for researchers studying the various causes and effects of diabetes. The American Diabetes Association oversees the selection of eligible researchers, and in 2005, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania is honored with the selection of Dr. Jeffrey David Zahn of Pennsylvania State University as a grant recipient.
