About ST PAUL MIDWAY LIONS CLUB FOUNDATION INC

St Paul Midway Lions Club Foundation Inc is a Minnesota-based 501(c)(3) community service foundation that serves the St. Paul Midway neighborhood and surrounding area. It functions as the charitable arm associated with the Midway Lions Club, combining fundraising (including lawful gambling activities) and volunteer service to support local humanitarian, youth, and community projects.

In recent public filings and state reports (most recently FY2024 filings), the foundation reported substantial lawful-gambling gross receipts that have funded community grants and program activity; its financial disclosures show a high program expense ratio, indicating most resources are used for programmatic purposes. The organization is active in local giving and appears in statewide charitable/gambling oversight reports and nonprofit databases, and it is publicly rated by national charity evaluators for accountability and finance practices.
