46U.S. & IL Government Filing Rules
for Lions Clubs
Government annual filings for Lions Clubs are important to
keep current. Late filing penalties can be severe. If a club's
officers have questions, please ask your cabinet officers
who to contact in our district to help you through these tough
rules. Also, we can have training sessions to review these
financial matters with you in more detail than can be
presented here.
Lions Clubs International (LCI) and its member clubs have
received a group federal tax exemption 0239, under Internal
Revenue Code § 501(c)(4). Each club is reported under this
exemption by LCI.
Clubs must verify using the LCI website that the Federal
Employer's Identification Number (FEIN) LCI uses for their
club is the one that the club uses for its filings, and resolve
any discrepancies.
All Lions Clubs are required to file the annual online Federal
Form 990-N or Form 990 or 990-EZ Information Return or
with the IRS.
Having previously registered as an IL charity, each club
must also file an Annual Financial Report Form AG990-IL
with the Office of the IL Attorney General
ATTN: Charitable Trust Bureau

48History of Lions International
Lions Clubs International began in June 1917 when a
38-year old insurance agent named Melvin Jones presented
to a group of separate business clubs the idea of
consolidating the individual clubs into one strong, influential
club with the goal of helping the community and serving
humanity.
The Lions Motto is: “WE SERVE”
Mission
To empower volunteers to serve their communities, meet
humanitarian needs, encourage peace and promote
international understanding through Lions clubs.
Lions International Purposes
To Organize, charter and supervise service clubs to
be known as Lions clubs.
To Coordinate the activities and standardize the
administration of Lions clubs.
To Create and foster a spirit of understanding among
the peoples of the world.
To Promote the principles of good government and
good citizenship.
To Take an active interest in the civic, cultural, social
and moral welfare of the community.
To Unite the clubs in the bonds of friendship, good
fellowship and mutual understanding.
To Provide a forum for the open discussion of all
matters of public interest; provided, however, that
partisan politics and sectarian religion shall not be
debated by club members.
To Encourage service-minded people to serve their
community without personal financial reward, and to
encourage efficiency and promote high ethical standards
in commerce, industry, professions, public works and
private endeavors.
