Overview

Mission

The organization's primary exempt purpose is to serve as an archival repository of the history of Texas Prince Hall Mason for the genealogy, research and preservation of the organization's history. To serve as a resource and research center to stimulate and promote creative teaching and learning for the use of research materials. To promote research and award scholarships by providing access to historical information and encouraging the use of its collections by members of the Masonic Family and the public at large.

What it reported doing in 2024

For the year 2024, the WMC Library Museum endeavored to hire a qualified, full-time archivist within the budgeted salary range. In 2024, the Library Museum was opened Monday - Thursday, 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM. During this time, the museum was manned by interim personnel. On average, there were approximately 36 visitors per month. Major milestones during 2024 included: * With the assistance of the Summer Interns, we completed the scanning of all existing MWPHGL of Texas Annual Convention minutes and reports. * Conducted seventeen (17) research requests from our archives. * Committee members collaborated with the Smithsonian Institute to establish a History Panel in the Camptown area of Brenham, TX. * Collaborated with the Kemetic Lodge of Research to have quarterly discussions. Tours were available by written request only. Volunteer hours for 2024 were 368 hours.

Operating model

Revenue model
Membership-supported. 99% of the money available for current operations came from membership dues.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

MIXED - 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.
