How do Lions Give in Your Area?
Ask yourself the following big-picture questions…1.Do Lions in your area give as individuals, or do they make their gifts through their clubs?2.Do Lions in your area prefer to give to particular projects or would they rather give general gifts to LCIF?3.If they prefer a particular project, what type do they prefer? Are there ways you could encourage general gifts instead?4.Is recognition a main motivating factor in giving in your area? If so, what type? 5.What other factors motivate giving in your area?
32
![Page 33: LIONS CLUBS INTERNATIONAL FOUNDATION](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56814643550346895db34ecc/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
1. Analyzing Giving Patterns
Once you’ve worked through the previous questions, use LCIF data to analyze the results and compare with your impressions:1.How many gifts came from clubs versus individuals?2.How much was the average gift?3.Were there many MJFs, PMJFs or Contributing Members in your area last year?4.Did Lions in your area give generously in response to a particular program, such as One Shot, One Life, or disaster relief?5.Were most gifts in your area undesignated?6.Did most clubs in your area contribute?
33
![Page 34: LIONS CLUBS INTERNATIONAL FOUNDATION](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56814643550346895db34ecc/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
2. Goals: Challenging but achievable
• Think globally: Aim for the per member average needed from each CA
• Alternatively, aim for 5-10% over last year
34
![Page 35: LIONS CLUBS INTERNATIONAL FOUNDATION](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56814643550346895db34ecc/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
3. Goals: Break It DownDistrict ABC sets a goal of $30,375, which is an increase of 25% (or $7,875) over the previous year. What kinds of donations should the LCIF team target throughout the year?
35

4. Consult the Council of Governors
36
• Secure support of LCIF goals
• Request insight about club giving capacity
• Solicit active support, e.g. mention LCIF in DG club visits
• Communicate progress monthly to the COG
![Page 37: LIONS CLUBS INTERNATIONAL FOUNDATION](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56814643550346895db34ecc/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
5. Secure Commitments from Clubs
37
Start the year with active engagement of each club:
Appeal letter
Call or meet with Club Presidents
Share club donation history
Try to secure an increased commitment
Use information from reports to inform commitment request
![Page 38: LIONS CLUBS INTERNATIONAL FOUNDATION](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56814643550346895db34ecc/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)

Inform Future Strategies: Clubs
If Lions in your area give mostly as clubs, the following ideas might be helpful.
1.Encourage clubs to give at least one MJF or PMJF per year2.Promote club recognition opportunities, such as the 100% Contributing Member program, the Club Plaque, and the 100% MJF program.3.Lions Clubs can connect communities to critical international events or causes4.Engage Leos – youth as community leaders for a cause
