Melvin Jones Fellowship Program

Found on the Lions Clubs International Foundation (LCIF) Website: "The Melvin Jones Fellowship (MJF) recognizes donations of US$1,000. It is the backbone of LCIF, providing 75 percent of the foundation's revenue. As recognition of humanitarian work, an MJF is an honor presented to those who donate US$1,000 to LCIF or to people for whom a donation was made by others."  Click here to read more...

Contributions can be made by individuals (including non-Lions), clubs or districts. Donations may be in one sum, or in installments of a minimum of US$100 over a five-year period. Melvin Jones Fellows receive an attractive lapel pin, a plaque and a congratulatory letter.

A Melvin Jones Fellowship Application is available for download for those wishing to make a donation and name a recipient of recognition. There is also an online application for those wishing to name a recipient of recognition for donations already on file with LCIF that have not been named. You can also make an online donation by clicking here.

Solicitation of Contributions Information

ATTENTION LIONS: The Solicitation of Contributions Act requires anyone who solicits donations from people in the State of Florida to register with the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services and to renew annually. This applies to every Lions Club in Florida as The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services has authority to impose penalties for non-compliance.

If your Lions Club has never registered you must register to keep from having the Department impose penalties for non-compliance. You can register online by going to http://www.800helpfla.com/socbus.html

If you have already registered, your club will receive a preprinted renewal application in the mail approximately 60 days in advance of your expiration date. If you did not receive the renewal application, you may call the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services at 1-800-HELP-FLA (435-7352). You can also e-mail your request to cswebmaster@doacs.state.fl.us and have your renewal application e-mailed or mailed to you. Do not attempt to complete the online application as it will be rejected and could delay renewal.
