Daughters of the Nile

The Daughters of the Nile are an international fraternal organization for women 18 years of age or older. They are related by birth or marriage to a Shriner, Master Mason, or a Daughter of the Nile. They may also be a majority member in good standing of a Masonic-related organization for girls, or a former patient at a Shriners Hospitals for Children (with or without a Masonic relationship). Founded in Seattle, Washington in 1913, Daughters of the Nile members total over 16,910 in 130 cities throughout the United States, Canada, and South America.

The Daughters of the Nile maintain two permanent funds to benefit Shriners Children’s. The Daughters of the Nile Foundation (a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit charity) administers funds in the United States. In Canada, the funds are administered by the Daughters of the Nile Canadian Trust Foundation.

Their one and only charitable endeavor is Shriners Children’s and their network of medical facilities throughout the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
