Elks National Foundation
How is the
Elks National Foundation
Helping Colorado?
When you give to the Elks National Foundation, you're doing more than funding the Elks National Drug Awareness and "Hoop Shoot" programs. You're doing more than supporting the Community Investments Program and providing Emergency Educational Grants to the children of deceased or totally disabled Elks. You're doing more than maintaining the Elks Veterans Memorial.
You're doing all that, and you're supporting Elkdom in your state.
During the 2006-07 Lodge year, the Elks of Colorado donated $155,981.83 to the Elks National Foundation. This year, the Foundation will give back the following:
 | $88,320.00 $69,500.00 $25,380.00 | |
| These grants help fund your state's major charitable project, as well as other philanthropic projects. Portions of these grants will also support your state's Drug Awareness Program, Hoop Shoot, Soccer Shoot and educational programs. | ||
 | $12,000.00 $12,000.00 | |
