MISSION STATEMENT IS TO IMPROVE AND ELEVATE THE CHARACTER OF MAN. false false As an organization, the Independent Order of Odd Fellows aims to provide a framework that promotes personal and social development. Lodge degrees and activities aim to improve and elevate every person to a higher, nobler plane; to extend sympathy and aid to those in need, making their burdens lighter, relieving the darkness of despair, to war against vice in every form, and to be a great moral power and influence for the good of humanity. For members, the degrees of Odd Fellowship emphasize a leaving of the old life and the start of a better one, of welcoming travelers, and of helping those in need. The command of the IOOF is to Visit the sick, relieve the distressed, bury the dead and educate the orphan. Specifically, IOOF today is dedicated to the following purpose:To improve and elevate the character of mankind by promoting the principles of friendship, love and truth, faith, hope, charity and the universal justice.To help make the world a better place to live by aiding each other, the community the less fortunate, the youth, the elderly, the environment and the community in every way possible.To promote goodwill and harmony amongst peoples and nations through the principle of universal fraternity, holding the belief that all men and women regardless of race, nationality, religion, social status, gender, rank and station are brothers, and sisters. Ideally, an Odd Fellows lodge is a place for fellowship in all its forms, from hanging out and just having fun, to discussions, to networking, to collaboration on creative and constructive projects, all with an eye not only on our own satisfaction but on what we might offer to the community at large. An ideal lodge is a great venue for a lot of positive energy and all members are encouraged to contribute their share. In addition, lodges provide an international social network of brothers and sisters that extends to more than 26 countries worldwide. If traveling is an interest, membership can provide a valuable network that will very much welcome an international visitor, and assist in their enterprises and certainly their travels whenever possible.For 2023, DONATIONS MADE WITHIN THE COMMUNITY TO BENEFIT NEEDY INDIVIDUALS AND LOCAL CHARITIES. false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 0 0 false 2 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 4 2 false false false false true true true true false false true true false false false false false false false X DANA MINSTER 4064523563 720 30TH ST N GREAT FALLS MT 594012134 GEORGE HILL Secretary 12.00 0.00 X X 4344 0 0 DANA MINSTER Treasurer 12.00 0.00 X X 4310 0 0 KIM BOWMAN President 8.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 CHRIS MAYKIS Vice President 8.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 8654 0 false false false 0 1707 1707 Membership Dues & Assessments 900099 2424 2424 2424 18971 18971 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 MISC 900099 400 400 400 23502 2824 18971 2000 0 0 0 8979 0 0 0 0 762 0 0 1687 0 0 0 0 0 3200 0 0 507 4318 0 0 0 0 0 1288 BANK CHARGES 5071 DUES 1741 Printing and Publications 132 MEMORIALS/HONORARIA 33 0 29718 0 0 0 77512 57369 58380 62367 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 325890 339982 0 0 0 0 461782 459718 0 0 X 461782 459718 461782 459718 461782 459718 -6216 4152 X false false false Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 6 THE ORGANIZATION'S MEMBERS CONSIST OF MEN AND WOMEN OF GOOD MORAL CHARACTER, OVER SIXTEEN (16) YEARS OF AGE, WHO BELIEVE IN A SUPREME BEING, THE CREATOR AND PRESERVER OF THE UNIVERSE, ARE RESIDENTS OF MONTANA, AND MEET THE QUALIFICATIONS OUTLINED BY THE GOVERNING DOCUMENTS.
