Elks National Foundation

You?re doing more than supporting the Community Investments Program and providing Emergency Educational Grants to the children of deceased or totally disabled Elks. You?re doing more than maintaining the Elks Veterans Memorial.
You're doing all that, and you're supporting Elkdom in Mississippi.
During the 200-10 Lodge year, the Elks of Mississippi donated $32,193.77 to the Elks National Foundation. This year, the Foundation will give back the following:
