After a slow start earlier this spring, the entries came rolling in the last few days before the deadline. In total, we received 75 entries, all showing Elks using Community Investments Program grants to build stronger communities.
The competition was tough, and there were some close races, but here are the 2012-13 CIP Photo Contest winners!
The Elks National Foundation will help Lodges meet local needs by investing up to $8.5 million this year in Elks communities through Beacon, Gratitude, Promise and Impact Grants. These grants offer Lodges opportunities to serve the community in ways that will raise the Lodge’s profile, energize the membership, encourage former members to return to the fold, and gain the notice of people who want to be part of an organization that’s doing great things.
