LCIF is the grant making arm of Lions Clubs International (LCI). Its mission is to support the efforts of Lions clubs worldwide in serving their local communities and the world community as they carry out essential humanitarian services projects.

Core 4 funds innovative projects that target urgent needs under Lions' core areas of concern: preserving sight, combating disability, promoting health, and serving youth. Grants are available for amounts up to US$200,000 on a three-to-one matching basis. (The limit for Lions-Quest grants is US$100,000 and the limit for Habitat grants is US$50,000.)
