The Fraternal Order of Eagles is an international non-profit organization uniting fraternally in the spirit of liberty, truth, justice, and equality, to make human life more desirable by lessening its ills and promoting peace, prosperity, and hope. The organization raises money for charity and donates 100% of funds raised to individuals and communities in need.
A defining pattern in The Fraternal Order of Eagles Foundation’s recent giving is its concentration in diabetes research and related patient care. The largest grant on file goes to the State University of Iowa Foundation for research, followed by another research award to the same institution in 2023. That Iowa connection fits the broader structure of the foundation’s charitable network, which includes a Diabetes Research Center Fund and Bridge to the Cure support tied to the University of Iowa. The foundation also funds other health-related work through grants for research, equipment, supplies, and educational materials. Recent awards include support for Ohio State University Foundation for research and for University of Florida Foundation Inc for research, as well as patient-care-related grants to hospitals and health organizations. Alongside research, the foundation’s portfolio includes equipment and supplies grants for community and clinical partners such as Eagles Memorial Foundation Inc and Indiana Special Olympics Inc. The grant list shows a mix of university, hospital, and community recipients rather than a single beneficiary type. That mix aligns with the foundation’s stated mission of supporting causes connected to research, patient care, and community support through the Fraternal Order of Eagles charitable network.
Medical research is a central thread in the foundation’s giving. It awarded $176,766 to Ohio State University Foundation for research and $175,345 to University of Florida Foundation Inc for research and educational materials, showing support for both laboratory work and related instruction. Diabetes research is especially prominent. The foundation gave $722,340 to State University of Iowa Foundation for research, and the organization’s charitable structure also includes a Diabetes Research Center Fund and Bridge to the Cure support tied to the University of Iowa. Patient care and clinical support appear alongside research. Recent grants include $154,892 to Penn State Health for research and $132,850 to Baptist Health System Foundation Inc for research. The foundation also backed educational materials and equipment/supplies for health organizations, including $114,942 to University of Florida Foundation Inc in 2025. Community-improvement and service-oriented grants also show up through equipment and supplies awards to organizations such as Indiana Special Olympics Inc and Care to Learn.
