Crest Hill Lions Club
Community Support Program – 2025
The Crest Hill Lions Club primary goal is to support and assist members of the community with vision and hearing impairments. In addition, the Lions help facilitate community-based activities and services through an annual Financial Support Program. Organizations may apply for funding to create, expand, or develop programs, services and activities that directly benefit Crest Hill area residents.
Eligibility
Funding is open to organizations and local governments such as schools, library district, park district, etc. to allow them to create or expand community services that directly benefit residents in the Crest Hill area.
Funding
Total annual funding available varies each year.
Applications should be for programs, services, and activities that will be completed within one year from the date of application, unless an extension is requested at the time.
We may call or e-mail the identified contact person for the organization in case follow-up or additional information is requested at the time of application. You may be asked to attend a Lions Club general membership meeting to further discuss your project/organization.
Selection
Finalist selection will be made by the members of the Crest Hill Lions Club Board of Directors. The Board of Directors has the full and final discretion to determine and make awards.
Funding will not be approved when the proposal results only in financial gain or benefit to the organization requesting the funding, without a community benefit.
Successful applicants will be required to complete a post project report, detailing the use of funds, for consideration for future funding support.
Applications from groups who did not receive funding in the previous year, may receive priority consideration.
Applications from organizations that have supported the Crest Hill Lions financially, or with volunteers will receive priority consideration.
Applications for services and activities reaching the highest number of residents, or filling significant community needs, may receive priority consideration.
