Fraternal Order of Eagles Mission Statement

The Fraternal Order of Eagles, an international non-profit organization, unites fraternally in the spirit of liberty, truth, justice, and equality, to make human life more desirable by lessening its ills, and by promoting peace, prosperity, gladness and hope.

Eagles are a Social Group

Thousands of people are attracted to the Eagles by our social events. We are fun-loving individuals who enjoy spending time with family, friends and neighbors.

It is not uncommon to hear a long-time member say that a dance was the first Eagles function he or she attended. Others became acquainted with the Eagles when they helped out at a dinner, played bingo or tagged along on a campout. Some members joined a specific aerie or auxiliary in California so they could "soar like eagles" with other skydivers.

Eagles social activities are almost endless and range from bowling, golfing and playing horseshoes to holding cookouts, riding in parades and attending NASCAR races. We also offer many social opportunities at our regional and national conventions.

Charitable Philosophy

People helping people is a value that the Fraternal Order of Eagles has held for more than a century. It's a statement that guides the charitable actions to help members and their families as well as fellow Americans affected by illness, injury or catastrophe.

It is this philosophy that has inspired our leadership to work toward a Fraternal Order of Eagles medical research facility dedicated to eliminating diseases that afflict so many.
