Overview

Mission

The organization's mission is to operate a fraternal lodge which accentuates the principles of charity, justice, brotherly love and fidelity, while promoting the welfare and enhancing the well-being of members and quickening the spirit of patriotism.

What it reported doing in 2025

Green Bay Elks Lodge 259 collects annual dues from its members to support its facilities and provide funds to carry-out its fraternal mission, including promoting and enhancing the well being of its members, quickening the spirit of patriotism by honoring our flag, country and veterans, and to engage in various activities of social, educational, and charitable nature.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Transfer-based 990-EZ. The 990-EZ reports grants or member benefits, but it does not separate enough spending to show the nonprofit’s full delivery mix.

The verdict

REVIEW - The filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and assets have declined or grown slowly.
