Donate to Charity Through

The San Diego Welfare Foundation


Please donate to support those we serve!

The Club conducts its charitable work through the San Diego Lions Welfare Foundation. There is no better investment in the future of San Diego. By donating to the San Diego Lions Welfare Foundation or making the Foundation a beneficiary of your estate, you will continue to serve our community for many years.

With just over $5 million in our Welfare restricted and unrestricted funds, our financial stewardship is sound. You may make donations with confidence and know that your funds will go towards the assistance of others in San Diego or to a specific charitable purpose you desginate.
