Overview

Mission

The fraternal order of eagles (f.o.e.) is an international non-profit organization that unites under the motto "people helping people" to lessen the ills of life and promote peace, prosperity, gladness, and hope.

What it reported doing in 2024

The organization hosted regular social and fundraising events, including themed dinners, games, and member activities, to promote camaraderie while generating support for local and national charitable initiatives. During the year, the organization prioritized contributions to multiple community-based charities, including the kitsap humane society, bremerton boys & girls club, bremerton foodline, and mary's place, as well as national efforts such as donate life and honor flight. In addition, the worthy president designated the captain joseph house foundation as a primary beneficiary, supporting families who have lost loved ones due to combat injuries. Through these activities, the organization provided meaningful financial support, volunteer service opportunities, and community connection for members and the bremerton area.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and some filed totals do not add up.
