INFORMATION
THE MELVIN JONES FELLOWSHIP

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.

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.

It is possible to make a donation and choose the MJF recipient later. Write
“Melvin Jones Fellow to be named later” on the check or bank draft. When
an individual’s or group’s personal donation(s) are accumulated for a club’s
or district’s use to select a Melvin Jones Fellowship recipient, LCIF needs the
signed consent. Please include such documentation with the completed
MJF application that is sent to LCIF Donor Services.
For Melvin Jones Fellowship contributions or inquiries, contact LCIF Donor
Services Department at 630-203-3836 or e-mail: donorassistance@
lionsclubs.org. You can also contact your district office. To apply for a
fellowship, complete the MJF Application form.

*Note that many countries may charge customs and VAT charges for
the importation of Melvin Jones Fellowship plaques. These fees are the
responsibility of the individual or club locally receiving the plaque.

Progressive Melvin Jones Fellowships
The Progressive Melvin Jones Fellowship (PMJF) program is a way for
donors to extend their commitment to LCIF. There are 54 recognition levels
beyond the initial US$1,000 MJF contribution with a unique pin for each
giving level.
After contributing US$100,000, donors become Humanitarian Partners.
To order replacement pins or to make a PMJF donation, contact Donor
Services at 630-203-3836 or e-mail us. Prices for pin replacements vary by
level.
