What Portland Maine Elks Lodge No 188 does
Mission
To serve our community and members as part of the elks national organization.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
The Organization supported veterans, senior citizens, foster children, and local schools through a wide range of charitable and community-based programs. Activities included participation in Wreaths Across America, the Summit Project, and the Elks National Foundation; providing scholarships; supporting drug awareness and youth programs such as Hoop Shoot; honoring civic and patriotic observances including Flag Day, Memorial Services, and Mothers Day; contributing to the Maine Children's Cancer Program; and distributing Veteran Home Care kits, among other charitable initiatives.
The program described on its FY2024 Form 990.
The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2021, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2021, 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 2022 to 2023, from $1.2M to $1.3M (+6%).
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. 2 of the last 4 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.
