Alzheimer's Fund and Parkinson's Fund Requirements
Alzheimer's grants and Parkinson's grants are for research, equipment used for research, or educational materials that can be used to better understand what these illnesses are all about.
All grant requests must be submitted on a Universal Grant Form along with a brief resume outlining the research project. It should also be on letterhead of the medical institution applying for the grant. All grants are required to have an IRS tax-exempt number from the recipient organization written on the form before they can be submitted.
Grants cannot go to any individual, whether they are an Eagle member or not, for medical treatment or to an aerie as a club.
All grant requests must first be sent to that state's Executive Board for approval. The state will approve or deny the grant based on their fund allowance, and will then forward approved grants to the Grand Aerie for processing. If having a fundraiser for Alzheimer's or Parkinson's to request a grant and you are only requesting the money raised to be returned, then it can be sent directly to the Grand Aerie. If requesting additional funds, send it to your State Executive Board for approval. ALL STATE CONVENTION GRANTS MUST BE SUBMITTED ONE (1) MONTH PRIOR TO CONVENTION.
Universal Grant application may be obtained from www.foe.com, your State secretary or from the Grand Aerie at:
