Our Focus Areas
Every journey begins with a single step. One act of service, one encouraging word, one gift of generosity is often all it takes to bring hope where it’s needed most.
Over the last 100 years, the kindness of Lions and Leos has multiplied across borders, oceans, and continents. With over 1.4 million members, we now have an opportunity to truly change our world.
That’s why we’re uniting our global service around eight areas of need. These Global Causes present significant challenges to humanity, and we believe it’s our turn to meet them.
Vision
Lions are known throughout the world for their work to improve the lives of the visually impaired and prevent avoidable blindness
Youth
LCIF improves access to quality education, vital health services, and positive youth development for young people around the world.
Disaster Relief
Whenever and wherever disaster strikes, Lions are often among the first to offer aid
Humanitarian
The humanitarian efforts of Lions have been notable and celebrated for more than 100 years. Working together, Lions identify the world’s most crucial needs and LCIF supports them in their efforts to provide humanitarian aid where it’s needed most.
Diabetes
Lions, with the support of Lions Clubs International Foundation (LCIF), are working to reduce the prevalence of diabetes and improve the lives of those living with diabetes.
Hunger
Hunger is a problem without borders. We’re offering grants, programs and initiatives to help Lions make huge strides in providing meals and nutrition for those in need – in hopes that one day no child will ever have to live without knowing when their next meal will come.
Environment
The Earth sustains human life. That’s why LCIF is dedicated to helping Lions take on large-scale projects that will create a sustainable and healthy future for generations to come. From recycling programs to ensuring all areas have access to clean water, we’re working hard to keep the earth in its best condition.
Childhood Cancer
LCIF provides funding support to Lions and has developed strategic partnerships to help improve outcomes for children with cancer.
