In compliance with Indian government regulations, we request you to urgently share the completed Donation Form and KYC information for LCIF India donations made via our website, cheque or electronic transfer by emailing [email protected], if not already done.
Beginning with donations made in fiscal year 2025–2026 (July 1, 2025 – June 30, 2026), DCGs will feature new giving and grant levels. The more your club or district gives, the more funding is available to apply for as a grant. Grants remain subject to LCIF approval.
Minimum eligibility remains US$5,000 for clubs and US$10,000 for districts in a single fiscal year. Grants require LCIF approval and only donations to the Empowering Service Fund (unrestricted) are eligible.
Donations can be made throughout the fiscal year, with grants available for application in the following fiscal year. The DCG requires a minimum donation of US$5,000 for clubs and US$10,000 for districts. The minimum donation amount must be given within the fiscal year (July 1–June 30). Qualifying districts and clubs can use earned funds for local projects by submitting a DCG application or as matching funds for other LCIF grant programs. Clubs may retain their DCG funds for their use or release them to their district to count toward the district’s DCG account. The amount of DCG funding available is determined by the giving structure.
Support humanitarian projects that enhance community welfare and showcase Lions’ impact.
Fund health initiatives, such as wellness programs.
Develop community engagement activities that foster collaboration between Lions and local organizations
Districts or clubs qualified for DCG funds can apply at any time. Submit applications to LCIF at least 90 days before the project starts to allow for processing. District applications must be signed by the current district governor and certified by the district cabinet, while club applications require the club president’s signature and certification from the club board.
