The Elks National Foundation helps Lodges serve their communities by offering Gratitude Grants of at least $2,000. Lodges are eligible to apply for Gratitude Grants after meeting the National President’s per-member goal for giving to the Foundation. New in 2015-16, every Lodge in which more than 15 percent of its members donated to the ENF in 2014-15 will be eligible for a bonus of $500 when it achieves the GER’s per-member-giving goal in 2015-16. That means these Lodges will be eligible for a Gratitude Grant of $2,500 instead of the standard $2,000.To find out more about Gratitude Grants and the Community Investments Program, visit www.elks.org/enf/community.
