| Dear Lions, Did you know that since its founding in 1968, our Lions
Clubs International Foundation (LCIF) has given out more than US$950 million in
grants? That is an incredible amount of money. What is even more incredible is
that we have improved the lives of hundreds of millions of people throughout
the world. We could not have done that without you! Did you also know
that LCIF relies entirely upon donations from Lions and friends? Yet, only six
percent of Lions make an individual donation to LCIF each year. You read that
correctly: only six percent of Lions give an individual gift to LCIF. To those
who have already made a donation this year, thank you. If every Lion gave
only US$100 this year, we could raise US$140 million. A single US$100 donation
can provide measles vaccinations for 100 children, a week's worth of food for a
family after a disaster, life skills training for a classroom of students
through Lions Quest, or a loan to an entrepreneur whose business will support
an entire family. That donation can, in fact, change someone's life. For
clubs who donate as little as US$50 per member, LCIF will award special Club
Giving Banner Patches. Please encourage every member of your club to support
LCIF this year. Help us to help those who need us most. Can I count on
you to demonstrate your commitment to the LCIF mission? Sincerely,
Dr. Jitsuhiro Yamada Chairperson, Lions Clubs International Foundation |
| An Exciting Opportunity for You! There is an exciting new way for you
to be involved with LCIF at the local level. By serving in the newly created
Club LCIF Coordinator position, you can be an ambassador for LCIF in your Lions
club. You will share stories about the Foundation's work, motivate fellow Lions
to support LCIF, and further LCIF's mission. With support from your District
Coordinator and LCIF staff, you will help shape the future of LCIF. Talk to
your club president today if you are interested in becoming a Club LCIF
Coordinator. |
| Grant Application Deadlines are Approaching LCIF provides grant funding
to assist Lions districts in developing and implementing large-scale
humanitarian projects. These humanitarian grants help Lions expand their
outreach and increase their impact within local and global communities to serve
even more people in need around the world. Applications for Standard, Core 4
and International Assistance Grants are due no later than October 7, 2016, for
review at the January 2017 board meeting. |
