LIONS COMMUNITY SERVICE FOUNDATION SINGAPORE ("LCSF") was registered as a Charity in 2003. It is also an Institution of Public Character to which donations received would be eligible for 250% tax exemption.
Its VISION is to be the leading source of philanthropic giving for the conduct of charitable services in Singapore from funds raised by Lions Clubs.
Its MISSION is to be the focal organization for fiscal resources generated by Lions fund-raising activities and to extend the scope of tax-exempt donations to Lions causes in Singapore beyond services to the lonely, sick and poor elderly.
LCSF is funded from public donations raised through Lions Clubs' fundraising projects. It also received government matching grants for funds raised during Singapore's 50th Anniversary Care & Share Scheme and the recent Bicentennial Fund.
