Marketing and Communications Specialist

We're in the business of Good.
Lions Clubs International Foundation (LCIF) is the charitable arm of Lions International, the world's largest service club organization. Serving more than 1.4 million Lions, working with 47,000 clubs in 200-plus countries globally, LCIF has funded humanitarian service to build a more promising future for citizens of the world.

Since 1968, LCIF has awarded more than $1 billion in grants, helping combat vision problems, provide valuable life skills to youth, respond to major catastrophes, and build programs to address the needs of at-risk and vulnerable populations. LCIF is also working to reduce the prevalence of diabetes and improve the quality of life for those living with the disease. In addition, the foundation is expanding its global causes to include childhood cancer, hunger and the environment while raising funds to empower even more service from Lions.
