Featured Appeal
The ALF purpose is to provide help and assistance for public relief, emergency aid and community welfare for persons in necessitous circumstances in Australia. The Foundation provides financial assistance and support, in times of Disasters/Emergencies and for Community Welfare Projects.
Who We Are
After Cyclone Tracy demolished most of Darwin in December 1974 , in the period 1975 to 1976, Lions Australia formed two bodies –
- Australian Lions Community Emergency Relief Fund (“ALCERF”) to co-ordinate fundraising for disaster relief;
- And a National Disaster Committee
In 1980 the Disaster Committee was amalgamated into the Emergency Relief Fund.
The Foundation was formed in 1981 by the District Governors of the day and this was formalised at the Multiple District Convention of Lions at Mt. Gambier in 1983.
Where We Work
Drought Relief Appeal was a large part of our work from July 2018 onwards., and is still ongoing.
Nationally raised $1.5 Million
- Fodder for livestock
- Food for working dogs
- Drinking water and food for families
- Fuel to transport fodder
- School fees
- Medical Bills
- Other household Bills (electricity etc.)

At this time each year, usually at our MD 201 National Convention, the Australian Lions Foundation Board has great pleasure in inducting worthy Lions into the Australian Lions Foundation Hall of Fame. These inductees are Lions who have served, and are still serving their community, not only through Lions but through many other avenues. Congratulations to all very worthy recipients.

ALF Awards
Awards are a big part of the Australian Lions Foundation, and whilst we don’t do anything for recognition or praise, we feel it is important to honour those that go above and beyond.
