FUNDING

 

    

There are many ways in which funds are derived.

  1. The Foundation conducts fundraising projects throughout the Commonwealth, in conjunction with participating Lions Clubs, such as Candy Day.

  2. The Foundation seeks gifts, grants, and contributions from individual corporations and foundations.

  3. The Foundation has established a fellowship honors program designated the Lions of Pennsylvania Foundation Fellow. Besides an individual securing a fellowship of his/her own, the fellowship can be bestowed upon a Lion, Lioness, Leo, or individual who has faithfully served their Lions Club and/or community, or for exemplary achievements in the area of humanitarian services.

  4. The Foundation, with the help of State Council, has created the P.I.P. Joseph Wroblewski Award. It is an award that may be given to any Lion, Lioness, or a friend of the Lions who is a Foundation Fellow. The recipient, a Pennsylvania resident, must have already received a Fellowship before receiving the award. The cost of the Award in Pennsylvania is $500, and it cannot be purchased for someone's own satisfaction. Outside of Pennsylvania, the recipient does not already have to be a Foundation Fellow, but the cost is $1,000.

  5. The foundation has an ongoing Contributing Membership Program. For a contribution of $10.00, an individual becomes a member of the LOPF. A Contributing Member pin is presented to acknowledge that contribution with a current year tab attachment. Each year when the individual another $10.00 for the membership, they receive that year's tab.

  6. The Foundation created a Memorial Program, which enables anyone to send a gift to the Lions of Pennsylvania Foundation, in memory of a deceased relative or friend.

  7. Club Recognition Program:
    A. Lions/Lionesses Clubs that contribute $2.00 per member to LOPF will receive a patch and be designated as a 100% Club.
    B. Lions/Lioness Clubs that contribute $5.00 per member will receive an LOPF patch and a rocker designating the club as a 100% Presidents Club.

  8. We now have a Vehicle Donation Program from which the Foundation will receive the proceeds from the sale of a vehicle, or the money received from the sale of the parts.
