\u201cLions, your generosity and service have impacted many lives here in India and around the world,\u201d says 2025-2026 Lions International President A.P. Singh. In conjunction with A.P. Singh\u2019s presidency, the Lions Legacy program is expanding to India. To continue serving humanity, Lions can become an important part of the future of Lionism by including a gift to Lions Clubs International Foundation India (LCIF India) in their estate plan. Handled with care, a Lions Legacy gift will provide sustained funding for LCIF grant programs.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

These grants help Lions serve their local communities by quickly responding to disasters, feeding the hungry, supporting vision and childhood cancer initiatives and so much more. Giving options include naming LCIF India as a beneficiary of a life insurance policy or a gift in your will. If you already have a will, your attorney may suggest you attach a codicil to make it make it easy to add or amend any terms.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

When LCIF India is in someone\u2019s estate plans, we know we are being treated as family, so we offer an array of recognition and benefits including being listed in the foundation\u2019s annual report and on its website and receipt of the Lions Legacy Society newsletter. To thank those who commit at least US$1,000 to LCIF in their estate plans, the foundation is proud to offer a special Lions Legacy Society pin.<\/p>

Becoming a Lions Legacy Society member strengthens Lions\u2019 ability to respond to future emergencies or support new opportunities. These planned gifts also allow Lions to grow and diversify resources to reach even more people in years to come. \u201cIncluding LCIF India in your will or as a beneficiary of your life insurance policy helps ensure generations of service,\u201d says President Singh.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

After considering loved ones, you may want to think about how your Lions service values can live on by leaving a gift for LCIF India in your will. President Singh says, \u201cAs Lions, we are on a journey for a kinder, healthier and better world. I hope you will consider joining the Lions Legacy Society so we can continue to promote humanitarian service and enhance the communities we serve well into the future.\u201d<\/p>

Visit our Legacy Society page<\/a> to join the many Lions and friends who have committed to improving and enriching lives by creating your personal legacy with LCIF India. \u201cYour commitment today creates a promising tomorrow,\u201d says President Singh.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
