Our Programs

With a grant of $100,000, the Elks National Foundation was established in 1928 as the charitable arm of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks. Today, the charitable trust has net assets of more than $360 million. Donations to the principal fund are never spent. Only income from the trust can be used. This year, the Foundation appropriated $12.2 million in support of the Order's philanthropic programs including college scholarships, Hoop Shoot, Drug Awareness Program, National Veterans Service Commission and the Elks National Home.  
 
Since its inception in 1983, the Elks Drug Awareness Program has worked to prevent drug use by our youth through education. The Elks recognize that they are not experts in the field of drug education. However, we do have the resources -- in dollars, facilities and volunteers -- to work with the experts to ensure that young people know the facts about drugs. Drug Education
