Beneficiaries
We have two types of beneficiaries. There are those that the council supports on an ongoing/recurring basis and those to which we donate once or on an as-need basis (non-recurring). The following is a list of the types of beneficiaries that we support with links to articles that provide more specifics about them.

The council performs fundraisers in direct support of some beneficiaries. Net proceeds above the budgeted amount for a particular fundraiser or membership dues are used where either there is no fundraising event associated with a particular beneficiary, or additional funds from another fundraising event are required to meet a need in the community, the church or among our members.
