Lions Clubs International Foundation is
Lions helping Lions serve the world. Donations
provide funding in the form of grants to
financially assist Lions districts with
large-scale humanitarian projects that are
too extensive for Lions to finance on their
own. The Foundation aids Lions in making
a greater impact in their local communities,
as well as around the world. Through LCIF,
Lions ease pain and suffering and bring
healing and hope to people worldwide.
Grants provide both immediate assistance
following natural disasters and long-term
disaster relief for reconstruction efforts.
Grants help preserve sight, combat disability,
promote health or serve youth.
Every dollar donated to LCIF goes toward
a grant. Lions support is crucial as donations
from Lions provide the majority of LCIF's
revenue. LCIF receives a small amount of
funding from foundations and corporations.
It receives no club dues. LCIF is truly
Lions helping Lions.
Since LCIF began in 1968, it has awarded 9,000 grants totaling US$640 million.
