Gratitude Grants

Gratitude Grants must be used for local, charitable activities. Lodges should use Gratitude Grants to actively serve the community. Ideally, grant use would go beyond a simple donation of funds or supplies. The intent of the CIP is to help Lodges do more, to help them serve their communities in new and meaningful ways. In addition, ENF grant guidelines stipulate that grant funds cannot be used to host fundraisers, essay or poster contests, youth awards banquets, Hoop/Soccer Shoot events, appreciation dinners or to fund scholarships. Please keep these guidelines in mind when applying for any ENF grant.
