Purpose
The Australian Lions Wellbeing Foundation (ALWF) invites Lions Clubs, Leos Clubs, community groups, and schools to share their ideas for local projects that promote wellbeing and connection.
This is your opportunity to pitch something creative, practical, and community-building that supports the wellbeing of a specific group or your broader community. Successful applications can receive up to $1,000 in funding with a matching contribution required.
Whether you’re a Lions Club running a new initiative, or a community group or school with a great idea, we’d love to hear from you. If you’re applying as a community group or school, you’ll first need to partner with a local Lions Club to request they will match the ALWF grant requested.
