All 250 2007-08 Promise Grants have been awarded!

Thank you and congratulations to the 250 Lodges that will receive Promise Grants this year! Unfortunately, we will not be able to accept any more Promise Grant Pledge Forms for this grant year. Pledge Forms for 2008-09 will be available in July. Be sure to get your Lodge's pledge in early!

The Community Investments Program keeps getting bigger! The ENF Board of Trustees approved another $100 increase in the program's Gratitude Grant and Promise Grant amounts. Now each grant is worth up to $500 in reimbursement!

Qualifications for each grant will remain the same. Keep brainstorming ways for your Lodge to continue meeting unmet needs and empowering members of your community. Click in the blue box above for more information on about ENF grants.

If your Lodge met the GER's 2007-08 per-capita goal you are eligible for a 2007-08 Gratitude Grant worth up to $400 in reimbursement. An application will automatically be sent to your Lodge secretary after the per-capita goal is met.

2. To be eligible, all grant funds must be spent between the time that your Lodge became eligible and July 31, 2008.
