Our Mission

The mission of the ENF is to help Elks build stronger communities. We fulfill this pledge by investing in communities where Elks live and work. We provide tomorrow's leaders, our youth, with lifelong skills; honor the Elks' pledge to never forget our veterans; help the state Elks associations accomplish their charitable objectives; and fund projects that improve the quality of life in local Elks communities.

Our Impact

Since inception, the ENF has contributed more than $500 million toward Elks' charitable projects nationwide. These funds enable programs that support youth, honor veterans, and meet needs in areas where Elks live and work. Our programs continue to grow each year, allowing Elks to do even more to build stronger communities. 

How the ENF Works

The ENF is able to help Elks build stronger communities thanks to contributions from our generous donors. Since inception, we have received more than $234.2 million in contributions and bequests. Today we boast more than 100,000 active donors and an endowment fund valued at $611.8 million.

Thanks to the ongoing support of our donors, the ENF continues to expand on our vision, mobilizing Elks across the country into a force for positive change.
