Membership Campaign
As our fraternity has its sights set on a fifth (5th) consecutive year of membership growth, the Moose International Board of Directors felt it was good timing for a new short-term Sponsor Incentive.

- One year of your own Lodge dues
- Gifted to another member for one year of his/her Lodge dues
- When using the Online Lodge Membership Application to sponsor a new or re-enrolled member into The Moose, it can be used to pay the applicant’s dues and the $20 application fee
There is no limit on the number of one-time use codes that a Sponsor can earn. This exclusive Sponsor Incentive ends on April 30, 2026, so don’t delay on making the personal invitation to join our fraternity. This program also applies to the Moose Legion and Women of the Moose.
When earning a one-time use code, you will receive an email from Moose International with your exclusive 10-digit code. You will need to have a My Membership Record account to redeem the code.
