What Minnesota Masonic Historical Society and Museum does
Mission
Minnesota masonic charities and affiliates' primary purposes are to help, aid and assist the masonic family and others, guided by the masonic principles of brotherly love, relief and truth, by (a) providing financial or other assistance to non-profit tax exempt entities that provide facilities for nursing care and elderly housing; facilities and programs for community, health, social services and education of the elderly; (b) promoting research and activities related to the treatment and cure of cancer, childhood language disorders, physical, emotional and mental maladies of the youth; (c) assisting students in obtaining higher education; (d) the collection, preservation and dissemination of historical knowledge about masonry in minnesota; and (e) to engage in, advance, support, promote, and administer charitable causes and projects that aid, assist, and contribute to the support of corporations, trusts, associations, and foundations that are exempt from federal income taxes.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Program
The historical society operates the minnesota masonic heritage center (mmhc), which provides a venue where the history and philosophy of freemasonry is displayed to and interpreted for the public as well as the craft. In addition to history and philosophy, however, the mmhc affords a venue for private and public events where the focus is not on masonry but on the wants and needs of the event organizer.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2021 to 2022, from $22M to $21M (−5%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2020 24% · 2023 36%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
