LIONS CLUB INTERNATIONAL FOUNDATION . . . endless possibilities
I am interested in making a charitable donation to LCIF. What are the possibilities? Charitable donations can be made by an individual or in the name of another person. We offer many forms of recognition and awards. For information on the types of LCIF donation and recognition programs, visit the www.lionsclubs.org/en/give-how-to-give/more-ways-to-give (Ways to Give).
What is the donation process?

Do donations fund administrative expenses or do 100% of donations go toward program services?
Fiscal responsibility and transparency are important to LCIF. LCIF continues to ensure that all donated funds are used efficiently to help even more people. Donations fund short-term and long-term program expenses, including grants. Based on targeted investment returns, investment income is anticipated to be sufficient to cover projected administrative and development expenses.
How does LCIF compare to other charitable organizations?
LCIF prides itself on its longstanding record of quality projects. LCIF stands for quality (effective programs with excellent follow-up), efficiency and uniqueness (the only Lions foundation that serves the world). In fact, the foundation was named the number one NGO to partner with for these reasons by the Financial Times.
LCIF has also earned its eighth consecutive 4-star rating from Charity Navigator for its effective fiscal management and its commitment to accountability and transparency. This 4-star rating indicates that LCIF consistently executes its mission in a fiscally responsible way. LCIF donors can be confident their donations are being used in support of the programs for which they are intended.
How can I learn more about LCIF"s financial efficiency?
We appreciate the opportunity to share more about our finances and programs with you. You may view our most recent Annual Report. For more details on the past year's finances, view our Audited Financial Statement, or LCIF's tax return (form 990).
What are types of recognition available?
There are several types of recognition available depending upon the type of donation given. These recognitions are mailed to the donor. Note that many countries may charge customs and VAT charges for the importation of plaques. These fees are the responsibility of the individual or club locally receiving the plaque.
Is it possible to designate a donation to a specific cause or project through LCIF? If so, can I receive Melvin Jones Fellowship (MJF) credit for the donation?
LCIF asks that donors give to the Empowering Service fund, which is a donation to Campaign 100 and supports all of LCIF's causes or the Disaster Relief Fund, which is also a donation to Campaign 100, but reserved specifically for disaster relief. Unfortunately, LCIF is not able to accept donations to specific local projects. However, the foundation does support many Lions' projects and initiatives through grant program for projects that meet the grant criteria.
