Applications for the Moose International Local Marketing Grants and the new Signage Grants are now open and will remain open until the end of the fiscal year (April 30, 2025) or when funds run out, whichever comes sooner. The grant applications can only be accessed by the lodge administrator through a drop-down menu on LCL web. $500,000 is available to be granted for marketing efforts, and $1M is earmarked for new and refurbished permanent signs for the lodge. Grants are obtainable up to $3,000 per lodge in each program. Lodges can apply for both programs, as well as the Lodge Grant program (infrastructure and improvement), which had its application open on July 8th and will close on Friday, August 9th.
Requirements for all of the grant programs remain the same:
- At least one member of the lodge was required to attend the International Moose Convention in New Orleans in July.
- At least one member of the lodge was required to be attendance at the lodge’s 2023 Association Annual Convention in the Fall; and at least one member of the lodge was required to attend the lodge’s 2024 Association Midyear Conference in the Spring.
- Lodge must be in good standing and run as a fraternal operation
