MasoniCHIP is a charitable initiative by North American Freemasonry chapters to aid the identification and recovery of missing children. Via free abduction awareness seminars within the United States and Canada, it offers to parents a service to create a kit of identifying materials for their child. Containing fingerprints, a description, a video, dental imprint and DNA sample, the kit can be used by law enforcement agencies if the child goes missing. The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children has described it as "one of the most comprehensive child recovery and identification programs in the nation".
