Mission & Focus Areas
The organization’s 2023 filing describes its mission as supporting the Idaho Elks Rehabilitation Hospital in Boise, helping fund youth activities in Idaho, and fostering fellowship among Elks Lodges in the state. Its website describes rehabilitation grants for equipment, staff training, research, health education programs, and local projects that benefit rehabilitation patients in Idaho.
The association’s website also describes community investments and youth and veteran services. A separate Dictionary Program distributes free dictionaries to third-grade students through local lodges; this is a program rather than an outside grant opportunity.
One reported recipient, Salmon Elks Lodge, received $7,500 in 2022. The lodge describes itself as a charitable fraternal organization that invests in its local community, supports youth, and serves veterans.

The website says the amount available each year is determined by the association’s Board of Directors. The 2026 program is for charitable projects; equipment, repairs, and improvements to a Lodge are excluded.
The association also describes Idaho Elks Rehab grants for nonprofit rehabilitation providers, universities, and local community groups.
