The Melvin Jones Fellowship Program is a generous way to show commitment to the humanitarian work of LCIF. The MJF Program was established in 1973 in honor of Melvin Jones, the founder of Lions Clubs International. The MJF program recognizes donations of US$1,000 to Lions Clubs International Foundation (LCIF). New MJFs receive a pin, commemorative plaque and a letter from the LCIF Chairperson. If the donor so chooses, he/she may use their donation credit to recognize another individual with a MJF.
