Mission & Focus Areas

The foundation’s 2023 filing states that it supports children and stepchildren of members killed or dying from injuries incurred in employment, including volunteer duties in law enforcement, firefighting, or emergency medical services. It also says education assistance is available to high school graduates successfully discharged from the “Home on the Range” program. The website describes educational grants for college and other post-secondary study, as well as medical assistance for eligible children. It says education grants may cover tuition, fees, books, and course-related supplies; recipients must be under 25, unmarried, non-self-supporting, and maintain a 2.0 GPA. The website says medical assistance ceases when a child turns 18, or earlier if the child marries or becomes self-supporting.

The filing describes organizational grants for charitable, educational, occupational-training, health-services, or benevolent purposes. It says recipients must certify that grant funds will be used as approved, including for research or education related to a disease or affliction of the elderly, or programs intended to improve the lives of disabled or disadvantaged children.

Examples of 2025 recipients illustrate the range of grantee work. National Jewish Health describes its work as providing patient care, researching diseases and cures, and educating health professionals. Free Arts for Abused Children of Arizona says it uses the arts to help children move from trauma to resilience. K9 Partners for Patriots describes its mission as preventing veteran suicide and supporting veterans experiencing PTSD, traumatic brain injury, or military sexual trauma. Children’s Hospital & Medical Center Foundation says it raises and distributes funds to support pediatric services and programs.

Grantmaking

In 2025, the foundation reported 10 grants totaling $564,772. Awards ranged from $5,550 to $330,000, with a median grant of $19,540. The largest award was $330,000 to Grand Aerie of the Fraternal Order of Eagles in Grove City, Ohio, for equipment and supplies; Eagle Village Inc. in Bradenton, Florida, received $110,000 for equipment and supplies. Other notable awards included $30,000 to National Jewish Health, $22,147 to Free Arts for Abused Children of Arizona, and $19,600 to K9 Partners for Patriots.

The FOE website’s grant guidance says grants from its charity funds are available to eligible 501(c)(3) charities and organizations exempt through a government agency. It says grants must be at least $100 and used for research, educational materials, equipment, or supplies; administrative expenses, financial assistance, and continuing education of professionals are not eligible. That guidance directs outside organizations to contact a local Aerie with requests and says requests sent directly to the Grand Aerie will be returned. The guidance does not specify application materials or a deadline.
