What Arlington-Fairfax Lodge No 2188 Benevolent & Protective Order of Elks does
Mission
Promotion of charity, justice, brotherly love and fidelity as a chapter of the benevolent and protective order of the elks of the usa. Our main focus in this endeavor is to support veterans and children.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
Programs are organized to serve the ones in need. Some of these include: food donations for the disadvantaged, scholarship program elks, food donations to the uso centers at joint base myers-henderson hall and reagan national airport, monthly backpack lunches for children at a local elementary school, donations of about 800 dictionaries to third graders in fairfax county schools, donations of safety glasses to middle schoolers, sponsoring 24 children to the virginia state elks youth camp, and other related projects.
The program described on its FY2024 Form 990.
The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2024 to 2025, from $327k to $446k (+36%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
