What We Do

Our Mission Statement:

"The Lions Medical Research Foundation is committed to raising funds for medical research to improve the quality of life for present and future generations".

The Lions Medical Research Foundation is a non profit organization funding medical researchers. The Foundation is dedicated to raising money to continue its 48 year history in providing seed funding to early career medical researchers.  We continuously seek ways to raise funds by exploring different avenues of revenue; clearly articulating the outcomes of medical research and the positive effects of this research.The Foundation is supported by the Lions community and the greater community in general.

The Lions Medical Research Foundation is managed by a Board of Directors all of whom are Lions members and all participate in a voluntary capacity. The Board has 12 members all elected from the Lions Districts within Queensland and Northern New South Wales, plus the 4 District Governors. All Board members receive no remuneration as they give generously of their time voluntarily.

The Lions Medical Research Foundation receives no Government funding. The funds are source by donations, bequests, investments, Ray Phippard and Prof. Ian Frazer Awards and the Lions Medical Research Personality Quest. Money goes directly to the Foundation which in turn funds approved medical researchers who at present are based in Brisbane.
