Fundraising
The Idaho State Lodge, Fraternal Order of Police, is a fraternal organization working on behalf of police officers around the state. After careful review of professional fundraising companies, the lodge selected Civic Development Group. Civic Development Group currently fundraises for over 30 state Fraternal Order of Police organizations.
The nature of this fundraising campaign is residential telemarketing public awareness. The lodge provides Civic Development Group with a script to read during this campaign. A permanent record of all calls is maintained for quality control (integrity). The lodge also uses Xentel for business solicitations.
Presently there are 23 lodges around the state with a membership of over 1,000 officers. There are lodges in Pocatello, Blackfoot, Chubbuck, Idaho Falls, Rupert, Twin Falls, Boise, McCall, Lewiston, Moscow, Coeur d'Alene, Priest River (Sandpoint), and Bonners Ferry. Members include State Police Officers, County Deputies, City Police Officers and Fish & Game Officers.
The funds raised are used for scholarships for members and their families, death benefits for widows of slain officers and their children, legal defense of police officers, development of the organization and charitable contributions. The state lodge gives to the Special Olympics and is currently developing programs for the United Way and Easter Seals.
