Our Strategy

Grants are available to Lions districts in amounts of US$10,000 to US$150,000. Hunger Grants support infrastructure and equipment acquisition of Lions’ projects focused on alleviating hunger. Funds can be used for a project’s capital needs and select project operational expenses during the start-up period.

Examples

Typical project expenses may include:

  • Construction or expansion of food banks, feeding centers, and food storage facilities.
  • Construction or expansion of kitchen or dining facilities as part of a school based feeding program.
  • Purchase of refrigerators and freezers to store perishable food items.
  • Kitchen equipment such as stoves and ovens.
  • Furniture such as chairs and tables for dining rooms and feeding centers.
  • Vehicles to transport, collect, and deliver food.

Application and Deadline

Applications may be considered at the LCIF Board of Trustees meetings in August, January, and May. Applications must be received by LCIF no less than 90 days before the board meeting date. Deadlines to apply are February 1, May 1, and October 1.
