The Lions of Colorado and Wyoming founded the Rocky Mountain Lions Eye Bank in 1982. Beginning with just a handful of donors, the Rocky Mountain Lions Eye Bank is now recognized the world over for its eye banking expertise. In any language, RMLEB means service, quality and compassion. Our extensive international network has allowed eye donors from Colorado and Wyoming to restore sight to thousands of people throughout the world.

Founded by three Detroit-area Lions Clubs members in 1939, Leader Dogs for the Blind empowers people who are blind, visually impaired or Deaf-Blind with skills for a lifetime of independent travel, opening doors that may seem to have closed with the loss of sight.


International Hearing Dogs professionally trains shelter dogs to assist individuals who are deaf and hard of hearing throughout the U.S. and Canada. The Henderson, Colorado facility supported by Lions Clubs has kennel space for 42 dogs, training areas, and modern offices. International Hearing Dog looks forward to the future and many more years of service to persons who are deaf or hard-of-hearing.


The purpose of the Colorado Lions Foundation, a 501(c3), is to provide annual Educational Scholarships, provide matching funds and grants for humanitarian projects, provide for special promotions (i.e. Humanitarian Awards, Ann Sullivan Awards, Helen Keller Awards, Sustaining Member Program and Family Membership Grants), and manage the asset base of the foundation which includes the Colorado Lions Camp real estate and various accounts with specific designations and objectives.
