Lay a stone in a house that will outlast us all.
A Lodge rises the way every great structure has risen: one gift at a time, set by many who believed before they could see. Your gift is recorded, honored, and put to work.
Make Your Gift

Your donation will be used for the following:
- The Cornerstone Building Fund (our future home)

The Founders' Wall
Every gift earns a place in the foundation
From a single Brick to a Cornerstone, your name is placed permanently within the house you helped raise.
Recognition tiers are honorary and reflect lifetime giving. They confer no Masonic rights, secrets, or privileges.
Where Your Gift Goes
Restricted, recorded, and reported
Gifts to the Cornerstone Building Fund are restricted to facility purposes alone: securing, furnishing, renovating, or purchasing our own space. The Secretary keeps a confidential ledger and reports the fund's balance at each stated communication, so the whole Craft, and every supporter, can watch the house rise stone by stone.
Thank You
You are not donating to a fund. You are laying a stone.
Long after we have passed to the Celestial Lodge above, the brethren who follow will know precisely who built the place they call home.
Under the auspices of the Most Worshipful Isaac Grand Lodge A.F. & A.M. of Texas
