Your annual sustaining contribution provides support for the SD Screening Program development, matching grants to help visually and/or hearing impaired people in your community, and eyeglasses and hearing aids for those in need. Your support is vital to these very important programs.

Thank you for helping the SD Lions Foundation improve the lives of those with visual and hearing impairments!

Our staff and volunteers will be delighted to assist.

Planned Giving

“An Eye to the Future

Legacy Society”

The Eye to the Future legacy society honors individuals who choose to support the SD Lions Foundation through wills and other types of planned giving. In the SD Lions Foundation Endowment, the principle of the endowment stays untouched while the interest earnings are used to support programs such as the SD Screening Program being developed and Individual Assistance Matching Grants.

Each gift is tax deductible as the Foundation, formed in 1964, is a non-profit corporation under Section 501C(3) of the IRS Code.

There are numerous types of planned gifts:

  • Bequest in a will or trust
  • As a beneficiary in an insurance policy or a retirement plan
  • A life income agreement
  • A life estate in property
  • Remainder interest in real estate
  • Charitable gift annuities
  • Charitable lead remainder trusts

There are many ways to maximize your gift and make a contribution that will last forever. Professional services are available to you and your tax planners concerning the best plan for your situation. Contact your financial advisor or the South Dakota Lions Foundation Office for more information.
