D5 SofN Nordic Legacy Foundation

In an effort to support lodges as they are printing more materials they download from the International website, the District is offering up to $100/calendar year/lodge to help offset printing costs. This will enable lodges to print promotional, membership, and other materials needed for their meetings, events and membership work.
 
The District’s NLF will continue to offer the shipping grants (up to $30/year) to help offset the shipping costs when they order membership, sports and cultural pins from the supply store.

The District is also continuing the Small Project Grants and Matching Grants to help lodges with cultural, membership, and other activities. All the details for these grants are included on the application forms.
 

As the end of the year draws near; Sons of Norway would like to have you consider supporting our Nordic heritage
through our International and/or District 5 Foundation.
