is the grant-making arm of Lions Clubs International.
LCIF is Lions
helping Lions serve others. It's the only Lions' foundation that
serves the entire world and all 1.4 million Lions.
Working with Lions, LCIF prevents blindness. It provides food and
clothing to victims of natural disasters. It also gives youth the
tools to succeed through Lions-Quest, empowers the disabled through
vocational training, and promotes health by equipping clinics and
hospitals.
LCIF is an efficient and effective charity. Administrative costs
were 10.8 percent in 2003-2004, a low ratio for a non-profit. Every
dollar donated to LCIF goes to a grant.
LCIF receives no club dues.
LCIF has awarded US $342 million in grants since it began in
1968.
