The Fraternal Order of Eagles prides itself on being the organization of "People Helping People". To that end, every Aerie of The Eagles makes regular donations to charities, memorial funds, and individuals alike. The Aerie considers all requests for donations at our regular meetings, for any cause.
Most notably, the Fraternal Order of Eagles aided the University of Iowa by pledging $25 Million to the Fraternal Order of Eagles Diabetes Research Center, completed in 2014. The Diabetes Research Center, which opened Aug. 23, 2014, occupies 1.5 floors (20,000+ sq. ft.) within the John and Mary Pappajohn Biomedical Discovery Building. A team of 100 researchers works daily conducting a variety of research studies centered around maintaining, preventing and, ultimately, curing diabetes. For more information, visit the Grand Fraternal Order of Eagles webpage here.
Additionally, the Fraternal Order of Eagles operates the F.O.E. Charity Foundation. We believe every penny donated to our Charity Foundation should benefit the individuals who need it most - that's why we return 100% of all funds raised in the form of grants. For more information, you can visit the Fraternal Order of Eagles page on the charity located here.
