Last year: #4 and #6.
Scottsdale finished the completed 2025–26 West District report at #4 in total ENF giving and #6 per member. Those results give us a clear benchmark for this Lodge year: improve both measures and work toward finishing at the top.

FIDELITY CLUB
Small monthly gifts. A bigger Lodge benefit.
$5 per month is the minimum. Recurring gifts support the Elks National Foundation. When Fidelity Club members reach 10% of the Lodge’s prior-year ENF donors, Scottsdale can receive an additional $500 Fidelity Club bonus on its Gratitude Grant.
The names below are based on the Grand Lodge Fidelity Club Honor Roll. Grand Lodge updates can lag recent sign-ups, so a new recurring donor may not appear immediately.
