Promise Grants

Promise Grants must be used for an Elks-led youth activity. The youth activity must have meaningful Elk involvement that goes beyond a donation of funds or supplies. Accordingly, youth activities such as the dictionary project or sponsoring a youth baseball team do not qualify for the Promise Grant. 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.
  • LIMITED TO THE FIRST 500 lodges that apply starting July 1 of each year
  • Can be used to support multiple, different youth activities
