What is the donation process?

Donations can be made online at www.lcif.org/donate or they can be sent to LCIF.

All US checks drafted on a US bank should be sent to:
      Lions Clubs International Foundation
      Department 4547
      Carol Stream, IL 60122

Wires transfers should be sent to:
      JP Morgan Chase, N.A.
      10 S. Dearborn Street
      Chicago, IL 60603
      ABA Routing No. 021000021
      Account Name: Lions Clubs International Foundation
      Account No: 754487312
      Swift International Banking No: CHASUS33

In countries where LCI has bank accounts, funds may be deposited in local currency. Be sure to check the association’s official exchange rates, shown on monthly club statements. When submitting funds by local deposit, it is important to fax, mail or email to LCIF a copy of the bank deposit receipt and information regarding to whom the donation should be credited.
If funds meet the criteria for Melvin Jones Fellowship credit (donations made to general funds for supporting youth, meeting humanitarian needs, providing disaster relief, saving sight and the area of greatest need), MJF credit can be issued. Standard processing time for an MJF is two to four weeks. Many countries may charge customs and VAT charges on the importation of MJF plaques and other recognitions and awards. These fees are the responsibility of the individual or club locally receiving the items.
