The purpose of the foundation is to provide an alternate source of funding for Lions Clubs projects and ensure long term support for deserving activities. This is accomplished by grants, either outright or matching, not to exceed $1000.00 per grant. Grants will be considered and acted upon (approved, disapproved, or sent back for additional information) by the Board of Trustees at a quarterly meeting. Each grant will be judged on its own merits, with special emphasis on adherence to the principles of Lionism and timely and accurate preparation and submission.
