Donations & Fundraising

There are many ways that clubs, businesses, and individuals can donate to and support the foundations. Donations of $2 and over are tax deductible. Clubs can recognise donors via the Foundation’s Honour and Award Scheme.

Club and Corporate Donations

Make a donation of any size to either or both Foundations from the Club’s activity fund.  Seek bequests and personal and corporate donations.  Donations of $2.00 and over are tax deductible.

Clubs are encouraged to “Support Lions’ Own Charities First”.

100% Participating Club Scheme

Lions Clubs can assist in fundraising efforts by supporting the annual 100% Participating Club scheme by donating the equivalent of $10.00 per member to the Foundation. Participating clubs receive an embroidered patch for the club banner in the first year and an embroidered financial year tab to add to it each subsequent year the club qualifies.

Sell Raffle Tickets

Sell tickets in the annual Lions Eye & Health Car Raffle. Clubs selling a minimum of $400.00 worth of tickets qualify to claim a 25% rebate on the full face value of their ticket sales to go into their activities account and be used however the club determines.  The 25% rebate can also be reserved to go towards the purchase of future Honour Awards.
