Revenue Streams

Membership Dues:

Each member renews their membership annually. Of their dues paid to Grand Lodge, California Hawaii Elks Association, and the Susanville Lodge, the local lodge receives $125.00. This is an increase from 2023 annual dues where the local lodge received $100.00. Prepaid per capita dues and assessments with the Constitution and SECTION 14.300 of the Statutes of the order is $400. Regular - Prepaid Regular - CA NE District ELKS as Required Amount Due Per GL Statues and Lodge Bylaws is $144.00. Annual increases in dues are proposed and voted on by the membership.

Event Revenue:

The community is welcome to rent the Susanville elks Lodge with the sponsorship of a lodge member. To rent the lodge room the cost is $400.00. To rent the kitchen is an additional $400.00 with a security deposit. Currently event revenue is on pace to surpass last year's event revenue as the lodge has hosted two events this year with an additional three scheduled in the next two months.

Donations and Sponsorships:

At each meeting members are encouraged to make donations for special events discussed during the meetings. Recently a letter was sent to the membership to solicit donations to assist in covering the operating cost of the Susanville Elks Loge. Other considerations include making a public appeal to the community to solicit donations to cover the costs of repairs to the Susanville Elks Lodge building.

Grants and Funding:

The Susanville Elks Lodge has been awarded grants in the past from CHEA to host special events. Currently under development is a crowdfunding campaign on Go Fund Me, requesting donations to assist in the restoration of the Susanville Elks Lodge in preparation for its one-hundred-year anniversary.
