Since its founding in 1968, the Lions Clubs International Foundation has awarded more than $1.3 billion in more than 22,000 grants to support Lions humanitarian projects around the world.  The Foundation was also ranked the number one nongovernmental organization in a 2007 study by The Financial Times.

Every dollar of profit from our fund raising activities is given back to the local community.  Since its founding in 1950 the New Berlin Lions Club has donated
over $7 million to local charities.  $139,240 was donated in our Fiscal Year 2024-2025 (July 1, 2024 – June 30, 2025).  Organizations receiving our donations that year include:
