Job Description - Staff Accountant

We’re in the business of Good

Lions Clubs International Foundation (LCIF) is the only global foundation supporting 1.4 million members of Lions Clubs International through grants and programs that expand their compassionate works and empower their service around the world.

LCIF grants and programs help Lions realize their most inspiring and ambitious humanitarian service projects. Since its founding in 1968, LCIF has awarded more than 24,000 grants totaling US$1.3 billion, thanks to the incredible generosity of our donors.
