The Lions Sight Foundation of Clark County was formed in 1952 by the 4 Lions Clubs then serving communities in Clark County (the Vancouver Lions Club, Camas Lions Club, Washougal Lions CLub and Ridgefield Lions Club). The Foundation was formed so the Clubs could pool their resources and centralize their sight assistance into a single entity rather than each Lions club handling sight assistance individually.

The Foundation is a Washington non–profit corporation and is approved by the Internal Revenue Service as a 501(c)(3) charitable organization.

Each of the Lions clubs located in Clark County, Washington provide sight assistance through the Lions Sight Foundation of Clark County. In addition to the Vancouver Lions Club, there currently are 12 other Lions clubs that fund, govern and participate in the Lions Sight Foundation of Clark County.
