The fellowship is an honor given to individuals who contribute $1,000 to Lions Club International Foundation (LCIF). The fellowship is the foundation's highest honor and represents humanitarian qualities such as generosity, compassion, and concern for the less fortunate. Melvin E. Jones, the founder of Lions International, died in 1961. His philosophy of life, "you can't get very far until you start doing something for somebody else," lives in our motto "WE SERVE." The Melvin E. Jones Fellowship Award was created in 1973 and is open to non-Lions as well as Lions.
