Why Join the Fraternal Order of Eagles?
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.
If you want to make a difference in your life and the lives of those in your community,
start with an organization that lives and breathes service – The Fraternal Order
of Eagles.
The F.O.E. was founded in 1898 on a premise of proud, caring, People Helping People
that understand the needs of the many will always outweigh the needs of the few.
Our members are truly a family of brothers and sisters who work hard to better our
communities and world. In times of joy and in times sorrow, your Eagle family is
always there. Whether our time is spent at a meeting, enjoying the social room or
washing dishes after a charity dinner, Eagle members carry a sense of pride knowing
their time is well spent.
Among the greatest benefits of membership with The Fraternal Order of Eagles is
the Memorial Foundation. Since World War II, the Eagles have offered protection
for the families of members through this one-of-a-kind safety net. If a member dies
while performing their job or serving their country, his/her children are eligible
to receive educational grants up to $30,000, medical benefits, dental benefits,
optical care, hospitalization and psychiatric care. To date, the Memorial Foundation
has assisted more than 3,000 kids with more than $2.5 million in benefits.
Once you have joined, opportunities exist within the organization for members of
all ages and interests.

Eagle Riders offers members with an interest in motorcycle riding to organize and
