How It Works:
When a member purchases a Perpetual Endowment, the principal amount is invested, and the earned interest supports the Lodge each year. Endowed members remain in good standing without the need to pay annual dues in the future. This one-time contribution allows your legacy to continue long after your years of service.
Family members or Brethren may also purchase an endowment in memory of a Brother who has passed away. To dedicate your endowment, please include the name of the honoree when submitting your payment or contact the Lodge Secretary at secretary@bmt286.com.
A Perpetual Endowment supports our Lodge long after we lay down our working tools, ensuring that the light of Freemasonry continues to shine for future generations.
