This website, originally meant to promote the largest possible participation of Lions Clubs in Europe to a common Europe-wide LCIF day, has now also become a source of information about LCIF, the Lions Clubs International Foundation.
You will find here Europe related LCIF resources, information, success stories and great upcoming projects.
Of course, it remains a source of information and inspiration about the LCIF Day.
Following the successes of the previous LCIF Days, this initiative continues.
The next edition will be on Saturday June 1st, 2024.
Lions helping refugees and victims of war and of natural disasters throughout Europe will again be the theme of LCIF Day 2024.
There are dedicated pages about the two recent and ongoing major disasters in Europe, with information as to how to help and how LCIF can serve as coordinator:
Lions Help Ukrainian Refugees
Lions Help victims of the Earthquake
The "Winter is Coming to Ukraine - part 2" project also has a dedicated page:

What is a LCIF Day?
The mission of Lions Clubs International Foundation is to support the efforts of Lions clubs and partners in serving communities locally and globally, giving hope and impacting lives through humanitarian service projects and grants.
The LCIF Day is an extraordinary Europe-wide event. The goal is, for all Lions Clubs in Europe, to be seen, giving our clubs and our service activities the visibility we deserve, as well as raising funds for the LCIF. The LCIF Day is an opportunity for the Lions of Europe to come together to demonstrate our spirit of unity and commitment.
Given the success of the first LCIF Days since 2021 it has been decided to pursue the initiative for 2024. Planning has already begun.
The 2024 LCIF Day will be on Saturday June 1st, 2024.
With fundraising actions that raise just 10 Euros per Lion on average, Europe can add €2.2 million in donations to support future projects, while encouraging new members to join our clubs and our community of service.
