MELVIN JONES AWARDS
The Melvin Jones Fellowship is the backbone of LCIF, providing 70 percent of its revenues. A recognition of humanitarian work, an MJF is given to those who give US$1,000 to LCIF or to people for whom a donation was made by others. Melvin Jones Fellows receive an attractive lapel pin, a plaque and a congratulatory letter.
The Melvin Jones Fellowship Progressive program recognizes people who donate US$1,000 or more or people in whose name a donation had been made, beyond the initial Melvin Jones Fellowship donation of US$1,000. Melvin Jones Fellows donating US$1,000 receive a one-diamond yellow gold lapel pin for the first level of the progressive program and additional recognition for subsequent donations.
