Tasmanian Lions Foundation (Disaster Relief) Incorporated
Tips for Applicants
Applications are exclusively accepted from Lions Clubs. Prospective applicants must submit formal club minutes endorsing and approving their project. Applications must be made on official forms available from the Member Resources section of the Lions Tasmania website. The submitting club is expected to be financially committed to the project, as grants are often on a dollar-for-dollar matching basis. Do not presume funding until formal written approval is received. For emergency grants, direct initial contact with the Foundation is recommended.
Giving Philosophy
The foundation operates on an endowment model, where all received funds are reinvested into a capital fund, and the interest earned from these investments is then disbursed as grants. Their approach to giving is focused on enabling Lions Clubs to undertake larger community projects and respond effectively to emergency situations. Grants are generally provided on a dollar-for-dollar matching basis with the applicant club.
