2. Lions Clubs International Foundation
Mission: To support the efforts of Lions clubs and partners in serving communities locally and globally, giving hope and impacting lives through humanitarian service projects and grants.
Lions Clubs International empowers Lions around the world to serve their communities, meet humanitarian needs, encourage peace, and promote international understanding through Lions clubs. LCI is the global leader in humanitarian service. But how do Lions gather the resources to carry out large scale or global projects? Lions Club International Foundation!
LCIF is your foundation and supports Lions’ efforts to serve their communities worldwide. The Foundation receives no funding from membership dues and programs are funded by donations from Lions like you.

3. Impact of LCIF US$1 billion given in grants since 1968
Millions of lives changed throughout the world
At a glance, LCIF seems simple – providing support for the efforts of clubs worldwide in serving their local and global community through grants. And, while it is true that the concept is simple, the results are life-changing for so many individuals throughout the world.
The Foundation provides grant funding for large-scale projects that clubs can’t do on their own.
As a nonprofit, LCIF relies solely on donations from Lions and others who share our mission, which is why it is important for not only our clubs to support the Foundation but for us as individual Lions, too.
Since being founded in 1968, LCIF has given out more than US$1 billion in grants! It is always impressive to hear that number, but it is even more impressive and touching when you think about the millions of lives that Lions changed through those grants.
Our Foundation changes lives around the world. It does this through four areas of service…

4. Sight Disaster Youth Humanitarian 4 Pillars of Service
The Foundation’s four pillars of service include serving youth, providing disaster relief, meeting humanitarian needs, and saving sight.
The first area of service is SAVING SIGHT. LCIF is a leader in providing support for preventing avoidable blindness and restoring sight for people around the world. Our sight programs range from developing and improving eye care systems to providing sight-restoring surgeries and treatments to distributing medications to those most at-risk for eye diseases.
The next area of service is PROVIDING DISASTER RELIEF. Whenever and wherever disasters strike, Lions are often among the first to offer aid—and LCIF is right there with them, ready to support their efforts with funding assistance through Lions disaster relief programs.
LCIF also helps Lions SUPPORT YOUTH. Since its founding nearly four decades ago, LCIF has been committed to helping children and young adults in need all over the world. We reach thousands of youth everyday through a number of programs that help them enjoy their childhood and grow into successful adults.
Finally, LCIF helps Lions MEET HUMANITARIAN NEEDS in communities throughout the world. Humanitarian service is at the heart of LCIF and Lions' work. Working together, Lions identify the most crucial needs, and LCIF supports them in humanitarian efforts that transform lives of people around the world. Our partners are also key in addressing humanitarian needs in the most effective ways.

Awareness and Recognition
Oversee annual giving at the club level
Recognize donors annually or throughout the year
Identify Potential Partners
Identify partners in your club with the capacity and interest to support LCIF
Identify local businesses with potential to partner with LCIF
Expanding LCIF support in your club is a crucial responsibility. Club LCIF Coordinators are asked to be aware of their district’s annual fundraising goal as established by district leadership.
Club LCIF Coordinators are asked to oversee annual club giving to LCIF by soliciting the club’s membership using the resources and knowledge provided by LCIF and District Coordinators. Club LCIF Coordinators are also asked to conduct an annual event that recognizes donors in their club.
Given that Club LCIF Coordinators are familiar with the giving capacity of other club members, they are asked to identify potential donors or local businesses with large giving capacity to LCIF staff or District Coordinators.

11. Communication with District Coordinator
Club LCIF Coordinators are asked to be in regular communication with their District Coordinators throughout the fiscal year.
Recommendation: Quarterly check-ins
Example:
September (Training of Club LCIF Coordinators)
December (Mid-year update)
March (Preparing for recognition events, finalizing fundraising efforts)
June (End-of-year update, reporting on donor recognition)
Club LCIF Coordinators are asked to be in regular communication with their District Coordinators throughout the fiscal year to report on progress of generating support of LCIF. This communication is important as it allows District Coordinators the opportunity to provide support to the Club LCIF Coordinator throughout the year. And it enables the District Coordinator to track the advancement of district goals.
A schedule of check-ins should be agreed upon between the District Coordinator and the Club LCIF Coordinator. LCIF recommends a minimum of quarterly communications throughout the year.
Example:
September (Training of Club LCIF Coordinators): District Coordinators are asked to conduct a training (in person, phone, etc.), ensuring that the Club LCIF Coordinators have the necessary knowledge and tools to successfully engage their club in supporting LCIF.
December (Mid-year update): Club LCIF Coordinators provide an update to the District Coordinator on progress at the mid-year point.
March (Preparing for recognition events, finalizing fundraising efforts): Club LCIF Coordinators are asked to report on their efforts to engage members in supporting LCIF at the year’s end, and how they will acknowledge club donors.

15. Why does LCIF need to grow our support?
Case for Support
Why does LCIF need to grow our support?
You may be wondering why the LCIF Board of Trustees have adopted aggressive goals for the coming years.

16. Case for Support
It’s simple. There is more demand for grants and LCIF continues to move into new areas in response to global needs and the interests of our members.
You can see in this bar graph that grants approved exceeded our total donations for several years.    
We have been able to approve more than we budgeted in some years because of our fiscal responsibility in managing donations prudently through investments, and also keeping our fundraising and administrative expenses low. But, there is great potential to achieve more donations – currently only 43% of our clubs give to LCIF. And only 5.6% of individuals donate to the Foundation.

17. Ways to Support LCIF

18. Areas of Giving
Donations make possible our worldwide efforts to restore sight, provide disaster relief, support youth and address other humanitarian needs.
There are five areas of giving from which to choose:
Area of Greatest Need
Disaster
Sight
Youth
Measles
Lions Clubs International Foundation will be celebrating its 50th anniversary in And for the past 49 years we’ve relied on the generosity of individuals to carry out our humanitarian work.
Donations make possible our worldwide efforts to restore sight, provide disaster relief, support youth and address other humanitarian needs.
To support these programs, there are five areas of giving from which to choose when making a contribution.
Area of Greatest Need: Supports all program areas and allows LCIF the flexibility to supplement initiatives where additional funding is necessary or where the need is most urgent. Funds projects that meet diverse community needs beyond sight, disaster and youth, such as the measles program, water wells and vocational training programs for the disabled.
Disaster: Enables LCIF to direct the funds to the areas most in need following disasters to provide for immediate, mid and long-term relief. The Foundation will be able to immediately provide funds for large-scale disaster relief, rather than collecting and distributing funds over a period of weeks or months.
Sight: Funds seek to support hundreds of sight-related activities ranging from equipping eye clinics to providing Braille computers for the visually impaired.
Youth: Supports the Lions Quest program and other initiatives such as educational infrastructure improvements and programs to assist at-risk youth.
Measles: Supports the delivery of needed vaccinations, social mobilization and advocacy efforts in the fight against measles and rubella.

37. One Shot, One Life: The Lions Measles Initiative

38. Measles: One Shot, One Life
Every year, a tragedy quietly strikes thousands of families, taking the lives of approximately 139,300 children every year. Of those who survive, nearly 30 percent suffer complications such as vision loss, hearing loss, brain damage, pneumonia, Vitamin A deficiency or encephalitis.
Measles is a highly contagious viral disease, spread through close contact with infected persons. If there is just one person with measles on a crowded bus of 100 people, 90 others will become infected if they are not vaccinated. 
Measles remains a heavy public health burden in developing countries where parents do not have access to immunization services that could protect their children from the disease. Factors such as poverty, poor health systems and a lack of information make it difficult for families to secure preventative medical care.

39. Measles: One Shot, One Life
Lions are working to stop the measles virus with an aim of providing 87.8 million children with vaccinations alongside our partners.
Since we began working on the One Shot, One Life initiative, we have worked in a total of 21 countries where measles pose the largest threat.

40. Measles: One Shot, One Life
In 2013 LCIF committed to a partnership with the GAVI, the vaccine alliance to protect tens of millions of children against measles. LCIF has pledged to raise a total of US$30 million by the end of 2017.
All contributions will be matched by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation for the first two years and subsequently by the UK for the remaining two years.
It only costs $1 to cover the cost of a life-saving vaccine to one child. But through our partnership with Gavi, a Lion’s contribution of $1 now effectively becomes $2, doubling our impact in providing this much vaccine.
