4. Four Pillars of Service
Serves Youth
Provides Disaster Relief
Meets Humanitarian Needs
Saves Sight
The Foundation’s four pillars of service include serving youth, providing disaster relief, meeting humanitarian needs, and saving sight.
Each year, millions of people around the world benefit from a project funded by LCIF. Over the past fiscal year, LCIF has awarded grants to expand Lions Quest in several districts in Japan, emergency assistance grants in Indiana and Illinois following tornadoes in November, grants to support medical and dental missions to the Philippines, and the expansion of blind and low vision services in Texas.
Our projects throughout the world change lives. The results of what Lions and LCIF can do together is incredible.

5. Four Pillars of Service
Serves Youth
Meets Humanitarian Needs
13 million youth impacted by Lions Quest
Lions Quest is present in 85 countries
More than 114 million children will receive life saving measles vaccinations
It is important to know what our four areas of service are, but it’s even more important to know our impact and tell our story to Lions and others around the world.
LionsQuest, LCIF’s social and emotional learning program for youth, has impacted 13 million youth around the world. In one school district in West Virginia, Lions Quest is in 20 schools serving nearly 5,000 students. These students are being taught essential life skills that support positive character development.
Lions and LCIF are committed to making measles history. 335 children die each day from measles. Through the One Shot, One Life Initiative, Lions have committed to raising US$30 million towards the fight against measles by our 100th anniversary in Through our joint efforts with GAVI and other partners, we will help immunize more than 114 million children and increase access to quality immunization services to benefit children throughout the world.

6. Four Pillars of Service
Provides Disaster Relief
Saves Sight
Over US$100 million provided for disaster relief
Over 5,800 individuals will receive new low vision services through Lions LOVRNET
This past November when Typhoon Haiyan hit the Philippines, Lions around the world quickly responded by donating to LCIF’s disaster relief program to help support our fellow Lions and their community. Lions raised more than US$ 5 million dollars for disaster relief to support the Philippines and other disasters throughout the world. Over the past 10 years, LCIF has provided more than US$100 million for disaster relief.
Just last month, I attend the Lions Low Vision Rehabilitation Network kick-off event in MD 22 which encompasses the District of Columbia, Maryland and Delaware. This project funded by a LCIF SightFirst grant will link 14 eye care institutions and practices into a 3 state low vision network. New low vision services will be provided to over 5,800 individuals and 65 local vision professionals will receive continuing education.
Lions and LCIF make a difference every day.

7. Lions’ Life-Changing Global Philanthropy
Why should Lions support LCIF? Many Lions want to give their support locally in their communities, which is understandable. But every community is next door to another community that needs Lions help and we should always reach out to those communities most in need. Just as we hope that if we were in need, someone would reach out to us, we should do the same.
LCIF is helping Lions around the world to push their funding further, to help more people.

14. 2013-2014 Average Gift Per Member
Average Gift Per Member: US$25.32
(Figures are based on unaudited June 23rd numbers.) To show you a different view of donations, here is the per member average donation by Lions by constitutional area. Most Lions are giving similar amounts of funds, but we should always be challenging our Lions to give just a small amount more. Even a dollar more per member would have an incredible impact on the Foundation and the number of individuals impacted. I feel such pride when I see the number of children who receive measles vaccination in Nepal or the number of people receiving cataract surgeries in Ethiopia or the number of children who refuse drugs and alcohol in West Virginia because of the Lions Quest program. The Lions should know the impact of their donations.

15. 2013-2014 Club Participation by CA
To show you a different view of donations, here is the club participation by constitutional area. Club participation is the percentage of clubs that have donated at least US$100 this past year. The worldwide average is just under 30%. This demonstrates that there is a huge opportunity for growth of LCIF in each constitutional area. If only 30% of clubs worldwide are giving to LCIF, that means 70% of clubs are not giving and if can be encouraged to give, LCIF donations can expand at an incredible rate.
*As of May 31, 2014

16. 2013-2014 Individual Participation by CA
This graph shows the percentage of individuals who donated to LCIF by constitutional area. As you can see, the percentages are very small. Worldwide only 4% of Lions made individual gifts to the Foundation last year. Just over 12,000 members out of almost 1.4 million members made an individual gift. There is an enormous potential for growth.
*As of May 31, 2014

17. One Shot, One Life: Success 2013-2014
One Shot, One Life has raised more than US$22 million! (from October through May 31, 2014)
Lions exceeded the Million Dollar Measles Challenge
157 million children have received vaccinations this year
MJF recognition will continue
Since October 2011, One Shot, One Life has raised more than US$ 22 million. In April, LCIF issued a challenge to Lions to raise US$500,000 during the month of April in celebration of World Immunization Week. Donations for measles during the month of April up to US$500,000 would be matched through a generous donation by PDG Aruna and Abhey Oswal. Lions far exceeded the challenge and raised over US$870,000 before the match. When combined with the matching funds, Lions raised over US$1.3 million dollars for measles during the month of April saving the lives of over one million children.
And now I would like to introduce Christopher Plunkett, our Regional Development Specialist at LCIF for CA VI, CA VII. Christopher will continue our presentation about your role as LCIF Coordinators and growing the support of LCIF.

21. A Case for Growing Support for LCIF
Expanding Disaster Relief grant program
Continued support of One Shot, One Life
Enhancement of Lions Quest
Growing Humanitarian grant requests
The additional financial support for LCIF will allow the Foundation to expand our grant programs that benefit Lions and their communities and to continue to fund our partnership commitments to the One Shot, One Life Measles Initiative, Special Olympics, and the Carter Center.
As the representatives of LCIF in your Multiple Districts and Districts, we need your help to reach out to clubs and Lions and tell the story of LCIF and why LCIF they should support their foundation.

23. Recommended Strategies
12/03/2010
Recommended Strategies
Club Visits
Reports at Zone & District Meetings
Presentations at District Events
Melvin Jones Fellowship Presentations
Local Leadership Training, e.g. DGE
Lions publications, online and in print
Engage Leos
Publicize Local LCIF Grants
Contact each club president
There are many strategies that can be employed to promote LCIF and raise funds. In speaking with coordinators worldwide, each area has strategies that work for them, but these activities have been universally the most successful. Visiting clubs, giving reports at zone and district meetings, as well as giving presentations at district events have been the most popular because of the face to face interaction with Lions.

Multiple District Coordinator training by CA
MDCs meet/train District Coordinators
Thank you to all of you who have submitted your goals to LCIF through the goal survey that was ed a few weeks ago. For those of you who have not submitted goals for your District or Multiple District, the deadline is July 31, 2014.
In the weeks to come, MD Coordinators worldwide will receive packets of materials with contributing member pins and measles brochures. We will also be having MD Coordinator trainings in each constitutional area. Training meetings have been or will be scheduled for MDCs in each Constitutional Area. The meetings are excellent opportunities for networking and troubleshooting with other coordinators. Expenses are covered by LCIF
Once the MDCs are trained, they will go home and train their District Coordinators preferably face to face, but they can also do this by conference call or by webinar with staff support.
