Monthly, following the close of the previous month.

There is a much more efficient way to submit dues donations--your Lodge secretary can use the CLMS Remittance Sheet for ENF Donations Included with Dues to submit those gifts. They can find the dues donations-specific remittance sheet in the Reports section of CLMS.

No, it's easier than that! Simply include your Lodge number when submitting an online donation through the online donation form at the top of the page, and leave a comment saying the gift should be credited to the Lodge. The Online Remittance Form should only be used when crediting individual donors at your Lodge.

Almost! For your work to count, you'll need to submit a donation for the amount included on your form. Include the six-digit batch ID number with your payment—either on a note with your mailed check or in the comments section of the online donation form, which can be reached by clicking the button at the top of this page.

There are two ways you can complete your Online Remittance Form's accompanying donation: 1) submit the donation online and be sure to include your six-digit batch ID number in the comments section of the form; 2) mail a check to the ENF that matches your Online Remittance Form's total amount—be sure to include a printed version of the form or the six-digit batch ID number on a note.

A batch ID number is a unique, six-digit number generated after you submit your Online Remittance Form. Once you start adding donors to your Online Remittance form, your batch ID number will appear above the donors' names. You must include this number with your payment so the ENF can credit donors for their gifts!

These are all stored on the page linked down below. Simply scroll to the bottom of this page and you'll see it!

No, but you can always create a new one or make note of your edits on a printed version of your Online Remittance Form, list them in the comments section of your online payment, or send them to pledges@elks.org via email—just be sure to include your Batch ID number and Lodge number along with any edits!

At the very top of the Online Remittance Form drop-down menu, simply select [Add New Donor: Individual], then "Select Donor," and enter their information. Please be careful of spelling. If names are misspelled, it makes it harder for us to credit donors and send them acknowledgements.

No problem! Lots of donors want to put their gift wherever it is needed most, which is our default option. These donations go to action supporting ENF programs right away.

Not quite. The Online Remittance Form should be used to submit donations from multiple individuals. Click here to find the best way to submit your donations, including gifts from one donor.

Our advice for pocket change donations: consolidate the coins! Combining your pocket change donations throughout the month and submitting them as one gift from your Lodge saves your time entering donations, and the ENF's time and resources for processing gifts. Every donation—no matter the size—counts towards helping build stronger communities. But, for gifts under a dollar, it costs more to process the gift than its value, so gifts like these have a greater impact when they're combined as a Lodge donation.

To submit multiple donations in honor or memory of someone, we suggest using the Tribute Donation Remittance Form. If there's just one tribute donation, you can use a Memorial Donation Envelope, which can be ordered online for free here.
