Baldwin-Brown Fellow

Realizing all Masonic organizations in Virginia were experiencing an increase in operating costs, which was causing the necessity of increasing amounts of assessments, the Grand Commandery of Virginia initiated the Baldwin-Brown Fellowship as a fund raiser to off-set harsh financial deficits. The existing Permanent Fund is an interest earning Endowment Fund from which only the interest amounts are used for the day-to-day operating expenses of The Grand Commandery of Virginia.
