Arthritis Foundation:

Odd Fellows and Rebekahs have actively supported the Arthritis Foundation since 1986, embracing the opportunity to have a role in the search for a cure for arthritis by volunteering time, donating money, and devoting efforts at the local, state, and national levels. Contributions have allowed the Arthritis Foundation to sponsor research that has resulted in major treatment advances for most arthritis conditions. Over 5 million dollars have been raised and contributed over the last 15 years.

Educational Foundation:

The educational foundation is the oldest project of the Sovereign Grand Lodge, Independent Order of Odd Fellows, having been adopted at its session in Hot Springs, Arkansas on September 20, 1927.

The Educational Foundation was the dream of Flora Sheets, Past President of the Rebekah Assembly of Illinois. She was raised in the Children’s Home Illinois and for many years was the Editor and Publisher of the International Rebekah Fraternal Paper. It was her feeling that the Odd Fellows and Rebekahs could put into practice the principles of our order by providing funds to assist worthy young people to receive a higher education.

Visual Research Services:

Odd Fellows and Rebekahs throughout the world raised $2,000,000 for establishment of an Endowed Chair in ophthalmic research at the Wilmer Institute of Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, MD. State, Province and related programs are operated and assisted by the Order. Pledge cards are available to those who wish to pledge their eyes after death. SEEING IS BELIEVING “Seeing is believing,” and vision holds the key to sight. Our eyes are our contact with the world.
