About Maple Grove Lions Club
Maple Grove Lions Club’s giving centers on local community needs, with recent grants reaching food assistance, civic programs, veterans support, education, and domestic violence awareness across Maple Grove and nearby Minnesota communities. One of the clearest signals in the grant history is repeated support for Cross Food Shelf, including a $50,000 grant in 2024 and a $30,000 grant in 2025 to feed needy individuals. The club also made sizeable awards to the City of Maple Grove for civic programs, including $22,357 in 2023 and $19,273 in 2024, showing that public-facing community projects are a regular part of its work. Its program list also points to active scholarship support, including the Dick Reimer Memorial Scholarship for graduating high school seniors and first-year trade or vocational students. Alongside that, the club maintains charitable donation requests for local organizations and causes, with review by a committee and board recommendation. The pattern is one of neighborhood-level grantmaking tied to practical services, youth support, and community infrastructure.
What Maple Grove Lions Club Funds
Food insecurity is a visible part of Maple Grove Lions Club’s grantmaking. They gave $50,000 in 2024 and $30,000 in 2025 to Cross Food Shelf in Rogers for feeding needy individuals. Civic engagement is another recurring area: the City of Maple Grove received $22,357 in 2023, $19,273 in 2024, and $8,657 in 2025 for civic programs. Education support appears through school-based and scholarship funding, including $10,000 to District 279 Foundation in 2024 and $9,050 to School Dist 279 in 2025 for education assistance and athletics. The club also backs social-services work, including $6,999 in 2024 to Marias Voice in Chaska for domestic violence awareness.
How Maple Grove Lions Club Gives
Typical grants fall in the middle five figures, with a p25 of $8,242, a median of $14,000, and a p75 of $20,589. The recent record shows repeated support to the same organizations across multiple years, including Cross Food Shelf, the City of Maple Grove, District 279 Foundation, and Magnus Veterans Foundation. That pattern suggests ongoing relationships rather than one-time awards. The club is a local funder, and the grant programs show a committee review process for charitable donation requests. It also funds scholarships directly through named scholarship programs.
