Editor's Notes

  1. LCIF plays a very important role in our global service as Lions. How? LCIF encourages Lions in one region to show their global friendship and help out Lions in another region during a time of need. As humanitarians, we are each guided by kindness to serve not only those in our own communities, but also people in need around the world.  Through LCIF, we can make possible what may be beyond the capacity of a single club or district. Foundation grants enable us to complete large-scale projects that individuals and clubs can't do alone.  In fact, LCIF is the only Lions foundation to empower the service of Lions worldwide and remains committed to magnifying YOUR service while strengthening our humanitarian mission. 
  2. LCIF was founded in 1968 to take the work of Lions to new heights by tackling global problems and assisting Lions with both large- and small- scale humanitarian projects. Since its founding, LCIF has awarded more than one point two billion U.S. dollars in grants to Lions, filling our organization's history with high-impact projects, meaningful partnerships, and the kindness and service of Lions. 
  3. At the 104th International Lions Convention in Montreal, Canada, LCIF announced that it had not only reached but exceeded the campaign goals, making history for our organization.  It was our sincere pleasure to announce at the Convention that LCIF had not only met but surpassed our US three hundred million dollar goal. As you heard in the video, in total, we raised three hundred and twenty five million US dollars!  This amazing accomplishment was made possible by YOU and your fellow Lions and others around the globe.
  4. As we close this chapter on Campaign 100, I want to again thank all of you in this room and around the world for supporting OUR foundation. We are ensuring that our service is magnified through the power of each grant awarded and each [dollar] donated.
  5. Let’s look at how LCIF is meeting the needs of the world and magnifying the service of Lions. It is only through the continued support of LCIF that we can ensure that the foundation will always be able to support us in our service through life-changing – even life-saving – grants and programs. 
  6. Lions, we should all be very proud of what we achieved together throughout the campaign.  But, we know that the world will continue to need Lions in the years and decades to come.
  7. There are several ways that we – that YOU – as a Lion, can help ensure the future of our foundation's ability to continue empowering our service through these grant programs. Let us speak on the various ways each of us can support the Foundation. As we transition out of Campaign 100, we must remember to continue to support the Foundation through our service by both doing AND giving. 
  8. Here in Constitutional Area VI, you can see that LCIF has supported grants totaling over 163 million dollars. A tremendous amount of service was enabled through these grants. But it takes the generosity of our Lions to make these grants happen. Let’s take a moment to celebrate LCIF's recent fundraising successes made possible by Lions and other supporters like YOU.
  9. Several options for giving to are available. Visit lionsclubs.org/waystogive to learn more.   First, consider making a personal donation or pledge. Or, work with your club or district to launch an online or in-person fundraising event. Facebook is an excellent way to host a fundraiser that not only encourages donations to LCIF, but also increases the visibility of the impact of our foundation with your family, friends, and community.  LCIF is also truly honored when thoughtful Lions include us in their planned giving. There are many options, and our staff can help you find one that works for you.
  10. Without the generous donations of our donors, our foundation would be unable to provide the incredible levels of support that are empowering the service of Lions everywhere. And, LCIF offers special recognition for our donors through a variety of ways.  One of our most popular recognition programs is the Melvin Jones Fellowship.  Becoming a Melvin Jones Fellow is a distinct honor of a Lion – an honor bestowed upon you as a donor to our great foundation or as a gift from your fellow Lions to recognize your service. Or, perhaps a combination of the two. Melvin Jones Fellows are creating a better future for our world.  Another popular recognition program is the Lions Share program that recognizes those individuals who give annually to the foundation in one of three levels. 
  11. The grant funding mentioned in the examples we shared today is only possible through continued support of LCIF from Lions, Leos, Lions clubs, partners and friends of the foundation.  Our world continues to need Lions.  And Lions need funding from our global foundation to magnify the impact of their service.  With 100% of donations going towards grants and programs, LCIF empowers the compassionate service of Lions and those who need our help. This means that every donation, no matter the amount, is making a difference in our communities, both locally and globally.  There are several ways that you can personally support the foundation, or encourage others to contribute to LCIF
  12. Although those benefitting from your support may never know of your generosity, Lions Clubs International Foundation and our beneficiaries are grateful for your support.
