Overview

Mission

The organzation's primary exempt purposes are to perpetuate our fraternal order and to enhance our fraternal strength for a bright and happy future in the years to come.

What it reported doing in 2024

To promote and enhance the welfare and happiness of its members; that the nobleness of soul and the goodness of heart be cultivated; that the principles of charity, justice, sisterly/brotherly love and fidelity be inculcated; and that its members' families be assisted and protected.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Transfer-based 990-EZ. The 990-EZ reports grants or member benefits, but it does not separate enough spending to show the nonprofit’s full delivery mix.

The verdict

REVIEW - The filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
