One Mission – One Fraternity – One Million Campaign
For more than 134 years, The Moose has stood as a beacon of fraternity, family, service, and community impact. As we approach one of the greatest new era milestones in our Fraternity — reaching one million active memberships — we have an extraordinary opportunity to unite every Lodge, Association, and member behind a single shared mission!
The “One Mission – One Fraternity – One Million Campaign” is designed to generate excitement, increase membership engagement, accelerate recruitment momentum, and celebrate the collective efforts of our Fraternity as we approach the landmark achievement of one million memberships in The Moose.
The campaign strategically increases rewards as membership totals approach the one million membership threshold, creating sustained excitement and increasing urgency throughout the sponsorship process. By rewarding Sponsors, New Members, Lodges, and Associations simultaneously, the program ensures that each level of the Fraternity shares in both the responsibility and the celebration of this achievement.
This incentive program is designed to:
- Increase new member growth across all Associations
- Create healthy competitive engagement among Sponsors, Lodges and Associations
- Reward local membership recruitment efforts
- Publicly celebrate milestone membership achievements
- Generate positive publicity and organizational momentum leading into the historic one-million-member milestone

Annual Membership Campaign
Membership campaigns are created and implemented by the Membership Department at Moose International. Annual Membership Campaigns typically run from May 1 to April 30 and have a unique theme each year.
This year’s Annual Membership Campaign is “Growing To Serve” which runs from May 1, 2026 to April 30, 2027. The Moose Fraternity is known for its far-reaching impact on our society. Together, with our acts of volunteering, we have shown our commitment, dedication, and compassion for our neighbors. In making our mission visibly known, we have grown into a deeply involved inclusive group of members. We value our core beliefs of serving our local communities and supporting our children at Mooseheart and seniors at Moosehaven. The Moose Fraternity has always stepped up to a challenge. And we challenge everyone to continue to be steadfast in our purpose while Growing to Serve.

2026 International Moose Convention | Oklahoma City
Home | Preliminary Schedule | Registration | Housing | Travel | Events/Things To Do | Updates
Join us in Oklahoma City from June 30th – July 3rd, 2026 for the 138th International Moose Convention!
Named one of the Best Places to Visit by Southern Living magazine, Oklahoma City, also known as OKC, offers all of the culture, cuisine, attractions and amenities you’d expect in a modern metropolis. And with its rugged Western past, working stockyards and title as “Horse Show Capital of the World,” it’s rich in cowboy culture, as well.
Merely blocks away from the convention center, Industrial-chic Bricktown is a lively entertainment district, with repurposed warehouse spaces home to restaurants, piano lounges and chic wine bars. Yet despite its vibrant nightlife, you cannot visit OKC without paying your respects at the Oklahoma City National Memorial & Museum, which honors the victims, survivors and rescuers of the 1995 bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building. From family fun to historic sites to outdoor adventures you won’t find anywhere else, Oklahoma City has plenty of hustle without all the hassle.

Sponsor Incentive Program
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. Beginning November 1, 2025, each time you sponsor your fifth (5th) new or re-enrolled member into The Moose, you will receive a one-time use code can be used for one of the following:
- 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. Follow the instructions in the email to redeem for one of the three options listed above. If you misplace or delete the email with the code, please contact the Helpdesk at (630) 906-3658 for a replacement code.
All codes must be redeemed by June 30, 2026.
