The Troy Lions Club, and its charitable arm, the Troy Lions Charities have been recognized with a Gold Seal for Transparency by GuideStar, a world leader in nonprofit information.  Less than 1% of all nonprofits receive this rating.  In order to get the Gold Seal, the Troy Lions Charities shared important information with the public using their profile on www.guidestar.org.  Community members and potential donors can now find in-depth financial information about the organization’s goals, strategies, capabilities, and progress.

The Troy Lions are proud that every dollar raised is used to support our charitable work.  We are all volunteers and all of our overhead and administrative costs are donated by the Lions club members.  We believe that transparency is the hot topic with all charities right now, and donors and supporters have the right to see how their contributions are being used.
