Free & Accepted Masons · Englewood, Florida
"Making good men better — serving our community since time immemorial."
Englewood Masonic Lodge No. 360, Free & Accepted Masons, is a proud fraternal organization serving the Englewood, Florida community. We meet on the 1st and 3rd Tuesday of each month — gathering first for dinner at 6:30 PM and then for our stated meeting at 7:30 PM.
As Freemasons, we are bound by a commitment to Brotherhood, Relief, and Truth. We believe in making good men better, supporting our neighbors, and building a stronger community through service, charity, and fellowship.
Whether you are a longtime member of the fraternity, a curious visitor, or someone exploring the possibility of joining, you are welcome here.
Get in TouchThe Englewood Masonic Lodge No. 360 Scholarship Foundation, established in January 2026, raises funds to provide scholarships to graduating seniors at Lemon Bay High School, North Port High School, and Wellan Park High School who plan to attend a trade school, vocational or technical school, nursing program at a community college, or fire and police academies.
All applications are reviewed anonymously — no name, race, or gender is included — with each application identified only by a code provided by the school's guidance counselor. Scholarships are awarded each Spring, with the number and amount determined by funds raised during the prior year. The Scholarship Committee brings its recommendations before an open lodge, which makes the final decision.
The Foundation holds two Brunswick Stew fundraisers annually — one in late October and another in late February — with all proceeds going directly to students. As a 501(c) organization, all donations are fully tax-deductible; the lodge retains none of the funds for operating expenses and maintains a separate bank account for all scholarship funds. Donations from brothers, friends of the lodge, and partner organizations are encouraged.
Through one Brunswick Stew sale and generous donations from brothers, friends of the lodge, and the Englewood Methodist Church Men, the Foundation is proud to announce four scholarship recipients for the 2026 academic year.
Each recipient receives a $2,500 scholarship for the 2026–27 academic year.

Freemasonry is the oldest and largest fraternity in the world. Members are united by a belief in making themselves better men — and through that, making the world a better place.
Masons join together because they enjoy the company of men they like and respect — committed to honesty, integrity, and mutual support.
Masonry spends more than $1.4 million every day across the U.S. helping people — the great majority of whom are not Masons.
Through ritual, study, and fellowship, Masonry reminds its members of the importance of virtues like compassion, honesty, and knowledge.
Freemasonry traces its roots to the stonemason guilds of the Middle Ages. Franklin, Washington, Revere, and Hancock were all proud Masons.
