Districts in Action 2022
January 4, 2022
Being community driven for over 129 years, GBU wishes to support the extraordinary local organizations that make a difference in each of our communities through our network of GBU districts.
The Home Office wants to work with your local GBU district to support a 501(c)(3) organization in your area. To kick off the fundraiser, GBU will donate $1,000 to the selected organization. From January 1, 2022, to February 1, 2022, GBU will match 100 percent of member donations received for the district-selected organization, up to $2,500.
Check your mailbox for a fundraising letter in January 2022.
If you have questions, please contact the GBU Fraternal Department at 412-884-5100, 800-765-4428 or memberbenefits@gbu.org.

The GBU Life Scholarship Awards support students in college, trade programs, non-college programs, and graduate school, helping them achieve their dreams, setting them on a career path and realizing life goals. Since its founding, the GBU Foundation has awarded 4,500 scholarships and educational grants totaling more than $3.2 million. In 2025, 215 members received $226,000 to support their two‑year, four‑year and graduate studies. Here’s a look at where the rubber meets the road — as we check in on past grantees to see how their scholarship awards have helped them stay on course, where they are now, and where they hope to be in the future.

There’s something about summer that makes even the simplest meal feel like a celebration.
Summer vacation is an exciting time packed with trips, camps, and sports, but we’ve all reached that point where we hear those dreaded words: “I’m bored!” With GBU Life’s Give Back Group benefit, you can keep your family busy while helping others without the pressure of covering project costs.
