LIONS EYE FOUNDATION OF CALIFORNIA NEVADA INC

Our goal is to continue providing excellent eye care surgeries to the less fortunate at no cost to the patient. In April, 2017 the Foundation moved into a new Lions Eye Clinic at 711 Van Ness Avenue, Suite 250, San Francisco, California and is seeking to increase the number of patients seen in the program. In order to accomplish this, the Foundation is increasing its contacts with health care clinics serving the less fortunate members in our communities. The Foundation is also participating in volunteer eye clinics where there is an outreach to the less fortunate members of our communities. The Foundation assists in helping to determine if people may need eye surgeries and whether these person may be eligible for free eye surgeries at the Lions Eye Clinic.

The Foundation made a grant of $1.5 million dollars to the Pacific Vision Foundation to be used toward the development of an Ambulatory Surgery Center (ASC) on the same floor and next door to the Lions Eye Clinic. This will provide a unique patient experience. The ASC opened at the end of October, 2020. On November 13, 2020, the first Lions patients received surgeries there.

In a new state-of-the-art Eye Center in San Francisco, the Foundation will continue its unique 60+ year partnership with the Sutter California Pacific Medical Center (CPMC) residency program which provides volunteer eye care professionals who perform the surgeries at no cost.

The Lions Eye Foundation will increase its education and advertising programs so that members in our communities are aware of the unique program and its new facilities. This will be accomplished through the internet, videos, and publications. Volunteers in the Foundation will be presenting programs about the Foundation to Lions clubs and members of the public.

A marketing committee has been created to centralize the Foundation's overall marketing programs.

Our Trustees, Officers, and Advisors all have many contacts within our local Lions Clubs and the Lions regional organizations in Northern California and Nevada. Their experience in fundraising will permit them to solicit contributions from each club and to educate the clubs.

In addition, the Hellen Keller Fellowship, Don Stanaway Fellowship, and Don Stanaway Life Fellowship has been introduced to encourage individuals to contribute. The Foundation has created a new Fundraising Committee dedicated to growing our future income.

The Foundation has created a Future Vision Society which encourages donors to name the Foundation as a beneficiary in their estate plans. When an individual names the Foundation as a beneficiary they become a member of the Future Vision Society. Members of this society help provide financial sustenance to the Foundation.

The Foundations Capital Campaign raised $2.1 million. The money has been used to purchase $350,000 worth of equipment for the Lions Eye Clinic, and $140,000 was used to help develop an Education Center for to be used in the training of California Pacific Medical Center residency doctors. Another $1.5 million grant has been made for the development of an Ambulatory Surgery Center.

Our website has been expanded and made more user friendly. A video and slide shows have been added to the LEF website. A new educational video on the operation of out Ophthalmology Diagnostic Services Center has been produced.

Specific key LIon's organizations and individuals are educated on what the Foundation is and what it has accomplished. There are currently 55 health care clinics referring patients to the Lions Eye Clinic. The Foundation will continue to contact health care clinics who are unaware of the Lions Eye Foundation.

In addition, our goal of a 100% board participation in donations to the Foundation.
