The return on your charitable investment is important to us:
The ENF gave back 32.6 percent of our distributions to state associations and 24.8 percent to the Lodges through our Community Investments Program.
The ENF spent only 7.7 percent on supporting services. This is well below the Better Business Bureau’s standard for charity accountability, which is 35 percent or less on supporting services.
