As the Community Investments Program continues to expand, we remain committed to our primary mission of investing in Elks communities across the country through grants that help Elks meet local needs.

Starting in 2019-20, we are debuting our newest grant offering, the Spotlight Grant! Every Lodge will have the opportunity to use this $2,000 grant to shine a light on two important issues facing nearly every American community—family literacy and homelessness among our nation’s veterans.

All Lodges are encouraged to apply. The Lodge does not need to meet the GER’s per-member-giving goal to receive this grant. The CIP hopes to approve more than 1,000 Spotlight Grant applications by the December 31 deadline. Help us reach our goal by applying!

Applications for 2019-20 Spotlight Grants open April 1, 2019 and close December 31, 2019. Grant projects must be complete by March 31, 2020.
