We are ready whenever and however our communities need us.
WE ARE GLOBAL
We are committed to providing resources wherever we are needed in the world.
WE GIVE 100%
We cover all administrative costs from our own
dues, ensuring that all donated funds go to the causes. Transparency and
accountability operate at every level; in fact, The Financial Times has
ranked Lions Clubs International Foundation the "best among non-government
organizations worldwide with which to work."
WE DO IT OURSELVES
We do whatever is necessary to help our local communities
and our global network. We are proud to be more than a "check writing" organization.
Whether that means raising money or rolling up our sleeves, we do it all
on our time.
WE ARE RICH IN HERITAGE AND PRIDE
We are proud that our organization is close to
a century old, and that it has a distinguished history of doing good works
for the world. Local communities respect and trust their clubs, both because
those clubs are made up of neighbors and friends who have a long record
of support, and because of the Lions Clubs International name and legacy.
WE ARE IN GOOD COMPANY
We have fun in our clubs. And when we meet fellow Lions for the first time,
we treat them like old friends.
WE'RE OPEN
We are kind and generous people who want to help.
WE ARE DEDICATED TO SIGHT - AND MORE
Since Helen Keller in 1925 challenged the Lions
to be "knights of the blind in the crusade against darkness," Lions clubs
around the world have fulfilled the mission of addressing vision health
and promoting research for solutions to vision diseases. Today, Lions clubs
work on global initiatives for youth, health, disaster relief and others
that affect local communities everywhere.
