Jimmy Durante Children’s Fund

In 1966, the Eagles began a Children’s Fund for Aeries & Auxiliaries to provide grants to

organizations across the United States and Canada dedicated to aiding and educating youth.

Each year, children’s hospitals, child abuse prevention organizations and countless other groups

dedicated to improving the lives of our youth change the lives of millions with the help of The

Fraternal Order of Eagles. We are People Helping People and through the Children’s Fund, we

work to ensure the spirit of our organization lives on for future generations. During the 2011-

2012 fraternal year, members of the F.O.E. contributed $415,542.09 to the Children’s Fund.

For his countless years of service to The Fraternal Order of Eagles, the Eagles’ Children’s Fund

was named in honor of legendary entertainer Jimmy Durante in 1966. The man who did it all

“For Da Kids” was a staple at F.O.E. gatherings and performed at 14 consecutive International

Conventions free of charge until his death in 1980. His kind, gentle and hilarious demeanor

inspired members to give back and make a difference in the lives of children everywhere.

In addition to the general Children’s Fund, the F.O.E. Charity Foundation also features funds

dedicated to the prevention of child abuse and building AIDS awareness.

Founded in 1898, The Fraternal Order of Eagles has a dedicated history of working hard to

make our communities better, safer places for all. Our Charity Foundation funds research for

diabetes, heart disease, kidney disease, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, spinal cord injuries, cancer,

and aid for neglected and abused children and the aged.
