Masonic Grand Lodge of Oregon

What Masonic Grand Lodge of Oregon does

The Masonic Grand Lodge of Oregon, operating under the DBA "Oregon Freemasonry," is a non-profit fraternal organization founded in 1849 (firmographics also reference 1851) and headquartered at 2150 Masonic Way in Forest Grove, Oregon. It serves as the governing body for Freemasonry in Oregon and is part of a global Freemasonry network of over 5 million members, operating under the jurisdiction of the United Grand Lodge of England. The organization serves adult men seeking fraternal connection, personal development through integrity-based teachings, community service opportunities, and lifelong friendships, while also extending engagement to family members via affiliated sister organizations — the Order of the Eastern Star (co-ed, 18+), DeMolay (young men, 12-21), Job's Daughters (young women, 10-20), and Rainbow Girls (young women, 11-20).

The core product is the Freemasonry Membership Program, a community-based membership offering supported by a suite of operational tools including an online Lodge Locator, a Member Verification service, the Grand View facility (a meeting/event venue), and event programming including a calendar, the OMCF Golf Tournament, and the recent 175th anniversary celebration. Charitable activity is channeled through the MasoniCaid family-support program, Giving Societies, and Community Charity Programs, with donations processed via the Oregon Masonic Charities GiveCloud portal. The technology footprint is minimal — a WordPress website with inquiry forms and standard digital channels (Instagram, Facebook, YouTube) — and there is no proprietary technology stack or app platform.

The business model is a subscription-style recurring revenue model funded primarily by membership dues (specific fee structures not publicly disclosed), supplemented by individual charitable donations and event-related income. Go-to-market is community-led: prospective members submit website inquiry forms or contact the Grand Lodge office directly, then are matched with a local Lodge for in-person engagement. Marketing relies on organic social media, the website, and referral networks through existing members and sister organizations, rather than paid acquisition channels. As a non-profit, the organization has no shareholders, no disclosed funding rounds, and is governed by elected Masonic officers rather than corporate executives.
