The total amount given by the Foundation for 2004 is over $80,000!
To fully fund the qualified applications we received for 2004, we would need to double our current assets from $3,000,000 to $6,000,000. Log on to the Foundation web site at www.sonsofnorway.com and click on "Foundation" to see how you can help make these dreams come true for our Sons of Norway members, lodges and their communities. The beautifully re-designed web site has many new features that are truly user-friendly. You may view the Foundation Video Clip, Donate on-line, and find all the guidelines, deadlines and applications for all of the Sons of Norway Foundation grants and scholarships at your fingertips. You will see the scholarship winners for 2004! The stunning levels of membership pins are also shown. We have pictures of the fundraising buttons sold by the Foundation. Check us out!
