The EFG’s are available to any Elks Lodge that has an immediate need in their community where help is needed for a child.  The Lodge Major Project Chairman completes the Request for Assistance form themselves, explains the emergency, the need and submits it directly to their District Commissioner.  Any information, such as a newspaper article or a community fundraiser, should be included.  Budget permitting, the Major Project may be able to help with a direct donation of up to $3,000 in your Lodge’s name.
