Overview
Mission
East Trinity Lodge exists to improve the lives of its members through moral and philosophical lessons, promotion of fraternal bonds, and community involvement.
What it reported doing in 2024
The lodge provides educational scholarships to local students to help with the cost of higher education. Funds for this program are primarily raised through an annual golf tournament and supplemented by member contributions. This year, the lodge awarded 6 scholarships totaling 18,000 to deserving students in the community.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 69% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent spending detail to tell whether the nonprofit works directly or through others.
The verdict
REVIEW - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
