New Hyde Park - North Shore Elks Lodge #2107

Elks National Foundation

In 1928, one man's dream became a reality for all Elks and the communities we serve. Then-National President John F. Malley envisioned a plan that would “unite the forces of the Order into a mighty army for the service of mankind.” During the annual Grand Lodge Convention in Miami that year, Malley's call to service inspired delegates to take action by voting to establish the Elks National Foundation with an initial $100,000 grant.  More than 90 years after Malley shared his vision with the Order, the ENF continues to unite all Elks in service to their communities.


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 help youth develop lifelong skills, send students to college, meet the needs of today's veterans, support the charitable work of the state Elks associations, and fund projects that improve the quality of life in local Elks communities.

The ENF is able to help Elks build stronger communities thanks to contributions from our generous donors. Since inception, we have received more than $270 million in contributions and bequests. Today, we have more than 100,000 active donors and an endowment fund valued at $805.1 million.

To contribute to ENF, send your donation into the office during annual registration or throughout the year so the Lodge will receive proper credit toward our per captain.
