LIF SUSTAINING SUPPORTER PROGRAM

What is the Sustaining Supporter program?

The Sustaining Supporter program is a method of giving in which anyone (Lion or non-Lion) is encouraged to give a tax-deductible donation on an annual basis to help support the many programs and services of the Lions of Illinois Foundation. With the annual contribution of $25 (less than 7¢ per day) through the Sustaining Supporter program, an individual is able to demonstrate a commitment to the Lions of Illinois Foundation and to its vision of creating a permanent vehicle for the delivery of programs and services to the visually and hearing impaired.

How does someone become a Sustaining Supporter?

Contribute $25 to the Lions of Illinois Endowment Fund and attach the form below. Renewals are $25 each. (Or, contribute $25 to give someone a Sustaining Supporter as a gift or award/recognition.)

 

What does the Sustaining Supporter receive?

The initial $25 contribution entitles the Sustaining Supporter to receive a pin and membership card. Upon renewal, the Sustaining Supporter receives a new card and a numbered tab that may be attached to the pin.

How are the funds used?

Contributions are pooled and invested in the Lions of Illinois Endowment Fund – a restricted fund of which the principal remains intact. Only the income from the Endowment Fund can be used to support Lions of Illinois Foundation programs and services for the visually and hearing impaired. The Endowment Fund provides contributors with an opportunity to give a gift that keeps on giving.

Are contributions tax-deductible?

Yes! Contributions to the Endowment Fund are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.

Can Sustaining Supporter contributions be applied toward a Foundation Fellow?

Yes! Sustaining Supporter contributions are completely convertible to Foundation Fellows. For more information, contact the Lions of Illinois Endowment Fund at 815-756-5633 or 800-955-5466.
