LCIF: Lions Serving the World Community … and Your Community Lions Clubs International Foundation, the official charitable foundation of Lions Clubs International, brings help, hope and healing to the world. LCIF enables Lions to tackle global problems such as blindness and hearing loss and respond to major catastrophes such as earthquakes and floods. But LCIF also helps Lions serve their local communities by partnering with them to build schools, health clinics and vocational training centres for the disabled. LCIF helps people to lead healthier and more productive lives. It combats preventable blindness through cataract surgeries, building and equipping eye hospitals and clinics, training eye health care professionals and raising awareness of eye diseases. LCIF nurtures the potential of youth by building schools and supporting the life-skills program Lions Quest. It also promotes health by building and equipping medical clinics, serves the elderly by constructing senior citizen centres, empowers the disabled by supporting vocational programs and helps victims of disasters through rebuilding projects and short-term relief. 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.
