The International Assistance Grants (IAG) program is one category of funding provided through the Lions Clubs International Foundation (LCIF). This program offers funding for collaborative humanitarian aid projects requiring the involvement of Lions clubs in at least two countries. The scope of projects is vast and grants range from US$5,000 to US$30,000.

Project example: The Lions Club of Issoire, France (District 103-CS), the sponsoring club, joined the Lions Club of Bamako, Mali (District 403-A), the host club, and "A Drop of Water for Africa" to provide technical assistance and project funding to install deep water wells. An International Assistance Grant for US$30,000 was approved to assist in this cooperative effort, bringing clean water to the people.
