How is the Elks National Foundation Helping Virginia?

Each year, the Elks National Foundation (ENF) strives to grant more money back to each state than it received from that state in donations. These grants help fund the state Elks associations' major charitable projects. During the 2009-2010 Lodge year, the Elks of Virginia donated $91,618.77 to the Elks National Foundation. This year, the Foundation will give back to the Virginia Elks Association $169,300.00 . That's a $1.73 for every dollar the Foundation received from our state last year.

$10,000 Impact Grant Awarded to Lodge #351

On December 2, 2009. the Elks Nations Foundation awarded Staunton Lodge #351 a $10,000 Impact Grant to implement "Operation Get Bunked."

Impact Grants are large, competitive grants intended to help Lodges address unmet needs in communities where Elks live and work. Impact Grants give our Lodge the opportunity to conceptualize, develop and implement a new project or to strengthen an existing one.

"Operation Get Bunked" is a project which was created by the Community Activities Committee of Lodge #351. The project involves working with the Valley Mission to provide materials and labor for the construction and outfitting bunk beds with mattresses, pillows and bed clothes in order to improve the housing arrangements and increase capacity for those less fortunate (single people and families with children) who must use the Valley Mission as their temporary home.
