WE'RE NUMBER ONE!
In a special report released Thursday, July 5, 2007, Lions Clubs International Foundation (LCIF) ranked best among non-governmental organizations (NGOs) worldwide. From 34 global organizations, LCIF came in first for its execution of programs, demonstrated accountability, communications internally and externally, program adaptability to the surrounding community, and understanding the goals of its corporate supporters.
LCIF beat out Rotary International, Habitat for Humanity, UNESCO and UNICEF, to name a few on the list.
