Beacon Grants—The Requirements • Must be a new project for the Lodge, meaning something the Lodge wasn’t already doing without our grants.* • Must be ongoing, not a one-time event. • Must be Elks-led, with much Elks involvement. • Must be an activity, meaning that it requires Elks involvement. *The project must be new the first time the Lodge applies for the Beacon Grant. Ideally, Lodges will use their Beacon Grant for the same successful, ongoing project each year after that.
