LCIF AWARD


Dear Lions,

I’m pleased to share that U.S.-based non-profit evaluator Charity Navigator has awarded Lions Clubs International Foundation (LCIF) — our foundation — its eighth consecutive 4-star rating based on financial health and commitment to accountability and transparency. Only four percent of U.S. charities have earned this distinction. I’m proud of our achievement and grateful we can continue assuring donors that 100 percent of their financial gifts fund LCIF programs that enable you to serve our world in need.

In sharing our stories, we connect, learn, and multiply our capacity for change. As we move through year two of Campaign 100: LCIF Empowering Service, let’s proudly tell stories of the people we’re able to serve thanks to our foundation. Every story we tell, every dollar we give to LCIF, spurs life-altering change as we increase our service impact, fight diabetes, and expand our global causes to include childhood cancer, hunger, and the environment.

Congratulations to LCIF and to you, fellow Lions. Together, we’re changing the world.

In friendship,

Gudrun Yngvadottir
Chairperson
Lions Clubs International Foundation
