Five National FOP Board Members died in the line of

duty. They are memorialized on our Wall of Honor at

your National Headquarters Office in Nashville. With

an initial donation of five 16” x 16” black granite

plaques by the St. Charles Lodge #15, my long-

standing goal of constructing a Memorial to our

fallen board members at the base of the flag poles

will soon be a reality. To complete this project, a

concreate base needs to be constructed where the

black granite tiles will be affixed. The cost to

complete this memorial will be under $8,000. If any

lodge would like to contribute to this memorial,

please forward donations to the Grand Lodge and

note National HQ Memorial in the memo section.

on each member’s record. That page has

vital information necessary for the local,

state and national lodges. Most records

are currently being underutilized because

of missing information such as phone

number, date of birth and email addresses.

Lodges can view the phone number and

email address along with name, address

and membership number in the

membership roster if these areas are

populated, saving valuable time and

allowing for quick contact to the member.

currently suspended and will need to forward First Half and

Last Half payment to become current.

An Officer Roster must be submitted yearly to both the State

receive important information, membership cards and maintain

lodge does not submit an Office Roster, the Information System

automatically removes elected officers when the TERM DATE

(completed by the lodge) expires and your lodge will no longer

have access to those functions. Please contact the Membership

Charity Begins at Home

The Grand Lodge offers an electronic platform that makes it easy for members to su pport

the National FOP Foundation, the National FOP PAC Fund and their State and Local FOP

Foundations. T he program is called GiveBack, and it provides a web-based platform for

FOP Members to raise and donate money to the charitable and political causes that are

most important to them.

Since implemented, the program has raised thousands of dollars each month for both the

National RFOP Foundation and National PAC Fund. In addition, state lodges are also

receiving much nee ded funds for their state foundations.

The GiveBack platform is a powerful tool for t he FOP to promote our charities internally to

members, friends and family and to the general public. TASC has also specially developed

a unique platform for promoting and receiving NFOP PAC Funds from members. The site

empowers officers and their families to give more, and allows a convenient way to

promote our memorial serv ices and other programs to the tens of millions of potential

supporters nationwide.

Members and non-members can set up recurring donations to their favorite c harities

and/or set money aside throughout the year for charitable giving. At year-end, GiveBack

provides a consolidated tax receipt, itemizing the tax deductions for each donor. Only

members can contribute to the FOP PAC Fund.

A ser vice fee of $1.00 per monthly transaction will be deducted from the donation.
