The Deal With Dues In Masonic Lodges

The Deal With Dues In Masonic Lodges

Author: Justin Jones February 2, 2021 Duration: 9:04

Your dues are too low.

Freemasonry isn't a service club and our primary focus shouldn't be fundraising, however this is the model for the majority of US lodges.

As men, we should be willing to invest in ourselves and cover our own costs for the things that are important to us. Fundraisers have become a crutch that we rely on too heavily to pay the bills and maintain our low dues.

The bottom line is that dues should be set high enough to cover the operating cost of your lodge.

This allows the lodge to worry less about fundraising and get back to the business of Freemasonry.


Justin Jones hosts Masonic Improvement, a thoughtful space dedicated to the ongoing growth of Freemasons and their communities. Rather than focusing on history or ritual, this podcast digs into the practical, everyday questions of how lodges can become more vibrant, engaging, and meaningful for their members. You'll hear conversations that feel like a talk in the lodge room after a meeting-discussions about mentorship, effective communication, planning memorable events, and fostering genuine brotherhood. Each episode offers tangible ideas and perspectives that any member, from new Entered Apprentice to seasoned Past Master, can bring back to their own chapters. It’s for those who believe the fraternity can always evolve and who are looking for that spark to initiate positive change. Tune in for a candid, forward-looking dialogue that turns inspiration into actionable steps, making this podcast a unique resource for personal and organizational development within the craft.
