Elks have disbursed over the Order's 132 years more than
$2.69 billion in cash, goods, and services to the nation's youth, its veterans, the disadvantaged and handicapped, and in
support of patriotic and civic programs. In the 1998-99 fiscal year alone, the BPO Elks expended in such fashion over $160
million, and the Order ranks as one of the largest private providers of college scholarships in the nation.
