Companies ranked Lions Clubs International and its foundation the best non-governmental organization (NGO) worldwide with which to work. This top ranking was according to ratings compiled by the Financial Times in association with Dalberg Global Development Advisers and the United Nations Global Compact. The rankings assessed 34 global organizations ranked by 445 companies involved with NGOs and international agencies. Lions Clubs International was rated most highly and ranked first for program execution, communication, adaptability and accountability in the fast-growing world of non-profits. The assessment, published in the Financial Times’ Corporate Citizenship and Philanthropy special report, highlights companies’ growing interest in long-term partnerships to tackle an expanding range of social issues. In July 2007, 100%of all funds donated to LCIF reach people and places in need. All foundation administrative costs are paid by interest on investments. Lions’ signature program, SightFirst, fights preventable and reversible blindness around the world. Support Campaign SightFirst II today and give sight to those who would otherwise live in darkness.
