Tom Hales of Anglo Dutch & Overseas Lodge, and the members of Audley Lodge, made the donation after personally seeing the results of Enterprise East's training.
The Enterprise East team relies on community support to fund their projects.
A spokesperson for the Freemasons said: "We as Freemasons are extremely happy to make this donation which will assist the early opening of kitchen facilities at the Jubilee Hub, enabling a host of community projects over the coming years."
