In the early 1970s the Eagles took to heart the statistics of the fast-growing ranks of the elderly, thus the National Golden Eagle Fund was founded. The fund quickly became the only senior-oriented fundraising program. Since that time, donations to the National Golden Eagle Fund have provided $1,000 grants to charitable organizations for community-oriented programs primarily serving the aged.

Golden Age Grants

Aeries and auxiliaries can request Golden Age Grants for those organizations benefiting the community's aged. By 2006, more than 2,097 grants have been made. (Does not include larger grants made at Grand Aerie International Conventions). The National Golden Eagle Fund is approaching $4 million in donations received.

Alzheimer and Parkinson Funds

Alzheimer's disease is the most common form of dementia, a brain disorder that seriously affects a person's ability to carry out daily activities.
 
In addition to funds raised by the aeries and auxiliaries for Alzheimer's Disease and Parkinson’s Disease, the Charity Foundation provides grants for research each year to institutions and hospitals for Alzheimer and Parkinson research projects.
