Lloyd Morgan Lions Clubs Charitable Trust
Lloyd Morgan
Lloyd Morgan was introduced to Lionism in 1960, when a friend took him to a meeting of the Wellington (Host) Lions Club, where he was impressed with the fellowship that existed among the members. Soon after the Club sponsored a new Lions Club in Lower Hutt, and Lloyd was asked to join. He accepted, and proudly became the new Club’s Charter First Vice President.
Over the next sixteen years Lloyd followed a path of accepting steadily increasing responsibilities, culminating in his election as International President at the International Convention in Montreal, Canada, in July 1979.
His rise in Lions was rapid, but Lloyd was more than happy to attribute this success to his wife Ngaire, whom he married in 1953. “It is because of her encouragement that I have come as far as I have in Lionism” he once asserted. “She loves people, and truly enjoys witnessing the happiness Lions bring to others.
Lloyd was a true “people person” with an engaging personality, who sadly passed away in August 2001. He was an inspiration to all who knew him, and thoroughly deserved the high degree of respect and admiration accorded him by members of the Lions Family and at all levels of our International Association.

THE OPERATION OF THE TRUST
Capital Fund
Donations to our Trust go to building our Capital Fund. The Capital Fund cannot be touched so it grows each year. Already our Capital Fund exceeds $5 million. The larger we can grow our Capital Fund the greater the income available for Lions Clubs projects.
Income fund
Income generated from our Capital Fund is available for clubs to use to assist with funding projects by way of grants or loans.
Special Trusts
These are monies that have been raised for a specific charitable purpose and are kept separate from the LMLCCT’s main Capital Fund. The ownership of these funds is vested in the LMLCCT. This is by way of a formal legal vesting agreement with the Special Trust which includes details of the fund. Where a request is made for use of any of these funds the application is considered by Trustees of The Lloyd Morgan Lions Clubs Charitable Trust (LMLCCT) in the same way as they would when dealing with Grant or Loan Applications from our general Income Fund. In some cases both the capital and interest of the Special Trust fund is able to be disbursed to meet such requests while there are some instances where only the income is available.
The investment of these Special Trusts is undertaken by the Finance & Investment Committee of the LMLCCT.
Lions Clubs contemplating the use of this service should, in the first instance, discuss their intentions with the LMLCCT Legal Counsel
GRANTS AND LOANS
Applications by clubs for grants or loans must be made on the approved Trust Application Form which is available from all District Trustees.
Clubs must demonstrate commitment to their project by careful financial planning and be able to show why a loan or grant is necessary to complete their project.
The beginnings of the “Lloyd Morgan Lions Clubs Charitable Trust”
It had been the custom, at the end of an International President’s year, for his Multiple District to present him with the keys of a new car. International President Lloyd Morgan had always made it very clear that he did not want a gift.
While driving to the Multiple District Convention in Dunedin, PCC Chairman David Gault suggested to Alex Grieve and PDG John Armstrong that a Charitable Trust in Lloyd’s name would more appropriate.
The two Lions who convened the fund raising efforts were PDG John Armstrong (North Island) and PDG Ray Carter (South Island). Clubs donated the initial capital of over $36,000 and the Trust was duly presented to Lloyd Morgan by Council Chairman (1980-1981) Pat Ryan at the final plenary session of the International Convention in Chicago in 1980.
