Shelby Township Lions Charities
Shelby Township Lions Club (operating as Shelby Township Lions Charities) is a local Lions Clubs International chapter serving Shelby Township since 1958; it runs vision, hunger, environment, diabetes and childhood cancer programs, raises funds through events, and awards local scholarships. The site lists the same PO Box and leadership names that appear on the organization's IRS Form 990 and describes charitable giving and community support activities.

Ideal Applicant
A Michigan-based small or mid-sized nonprofit working on vision/health, hunger, youth/foster care, or local community service with clear local impact and capacity to manage grants in the roughly $5k–$25k range.
Good Fit
- • Programs supporting vision or services for the visually impaired
- • Clear local presence in Shelby Township or nearby Michigan communities
- • Youth, hunger, or foster-care program alignment
- • Ability to show measurable community impact and local partnerships
- • Budgetary need matching typical single grants of about $5k–$25k
Geography
Observed giving is state‑level local: all grants in the filings were made to organizations in Michigan, with a single state represented in both observed years.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows eight distinct grantees spanning local community groups and regional vision/service organizations, and six of those were repeat recipients from the prior filing, indicating a modest but not tiny recipient spread for a small local charity.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of sustained turnover is limited, but two new recipients appeared in the latest year and a public website plus contact email and a posted scholarship application exist; however no formal general-grant application process was found, so new entrants appear possible but likely benefit from local outreach or introductions.
