The Seattle Elks Lodge #92

The Seattle Elks Lodge 92 of the Benevolent & Protective Order of Elks is one Lodge among over 2100 nation wide that make up the Largest Charitable Fraternal Order in the United States.  Our Local, State & National Programs support Special Needs Children, Veterans, and Scholarships across the country.

The Seattle Elks is also the second oldest continually operating charity in Seattle.  Established on July 12th, 1888 it is second only to the Seattle Children's Home, now known as the Children's Home Society of Washington, which was established in 1886.

Did you know:

The Benevolent & Protective Order of Elks provide more Academic Scholarships and Vocational Grants than anyone other than the Federal Government?

The First Rehabilitative Center for Veterans was built by the Elks in Boston in 1919.  Later this became the First Veterans Administration Hospital in the United States.

Our Washington State Elks Major Charity is Our Therapy Program for Children, employing 15 Licensed Physical Therapists who travel across Washington State, providing physical therapy for childern who could not otherwise afford this service. They also provide training the siblings and parents how to maintain the regimen in the Therapist's absence.

The Seattle & Ballard Elks Lodges donated both the property and buildings near Ft Lawton WA to help with the expansion of Children's Hospital when their space was constrained.  For nearly 90 years our Birthday BUCKS program has supported the Uncompensated Care Fund at Children's Hospital.
