Leo Service Grants Now Available for Application

Leos, the good news you have been waiting for has arrived; Leo service grants are now available for application! Leos, you can now reach more people and create bigger impact with your own service projects, bettering the communities around you or across the world.

Grants may be awarded through Lions districts or multiple districts, up to US$2,500 for districts or US$5,000 for multiple districts. Grants will fund service projects that have a community-wide impact, and meet an unmet humanitarian need. Priority consideration will be given to projects that align with our global causes; diabetes, environment, hunger, vision, and childhood cancer.

This is your chance to let your community know that Leos are a force for positive change! What are you hoping to accomplish? Is there a river in your neighborhood that needs cleaning? Could your town benefit from a community garden? Has a natural disaster damaged your community center?

World Water Day is an opportunity for Lions to focus attention on and raise awareness of the importance of fresh water across the globe. When Lions everywhere commit to a water project in their community — whether providing water pumps to people in need, raising funds to help a village on the other side of the world have access to clean water, or building rain barrels for community members to conserve water and protect the environment (a project featured in the video above) — Lions can truly make a global impact.

Lions Clubs International Foundation has awarded $3.7M for 127 clean water related projects, including water pumps, irrigation, water therapy, purification systems, potable water and countless water wells primarily in developing regions. LCIF has awarded another $353,000 for 19 sanitation related projects.
