LIONS OF ALBERTA FOUNDATION
Lions of Alberta Foundation was created to facilitate a body of individuals to unite the Lions Clubs of Alberta to better serve the communities of our province. The Board of Directors that governs this Foundation are representative of all the Lions clubs in Alberta. Where one individual club might not have the resources to fulfill a project on its own, with the assistance of L.O.A.F. that project might become a possibility with the assistance of other clubs in the province.
With the ability to issue Tax Deductible Receipts (TDR) the Foundation assists Lions Clubs within the Multiple District "C" to help raise funds for Canadian community projects
Lions of Alberta Foundation (L.O.A.F.) was created in 1980 as a supervisory and directive body, approved January 05, 1981, by the Province of Alberta, to form a society to serve the Lions Clubs of Alberta.
Every club, in good standing within Alberta is a member of the Foundation. Any Lion in good standing, in a club in good standing can be voted onto the board of the Foundation. Each club has one vote at the Annual General Meeting, which is held in the fall of the year. Special meetings of the Foundation are held several times either in person or via Zoom, as business dictates.
The Lions of Alberta Foundation (LOAF) website is currently being updated and additional information will be available in the near future. Please come back again!
