LCIF Foundation

Dear Lions,

When I first became a Lion in 1974, I made a commitment to serving my community. That commitment grew for the next 40 years, and then I became president of Lions Clubs International. Now, more committed than ever, I am honored to serve as Chairperson of Lions Clubs International Foundation (LCIF). The Foundation is something I believe strongly in and is a vital part of Lions' international service efforts.

LCIF is our Foundation. LCIF supports our compassionate works, providing grant funding for your local and global humanitarian efforts. LCIF helps all Lions serve. Your contributions to LCIF have helped people all around the world by providing disaster relief, saving sight, supporting youth and meeting humanitarian needs.

LCIF sets a funding goal every year to meet Lions' humanitarian needs worldwide. We're still closing the books for the 2014-15 fiscal year, but we expect that you Lions donated more than US$39 million. That means we've surpassed our annual goal by more than US$1 million! Just think of all the people we have helped because of your generosity.

As we kick off another new year, the future is bright for LCIF. With your involvement, we will continue to make the world a better place for everyone. Thank you for your dedication to our Foundation!

Sincerely,

Joe Preston
Chairperson, Lions Clubs International Foundation
