Annual Club Gift Campaign
Each year, the Kiwanis International Foundation conducts its Annual Club
Gift fund-raising campaign, from October 1 through September 30, providing
the Foundation with an unrestricted source of income. In 1968, the program's
first year, this income totaled US$7,000. The total now exceeds US$650,000
per year.

SKIP-A-MEAL
Kiwanis-family members and non-members who send the cost equivalent of

by your Kiwanis International Foundation. Read

Worldwide Service Project
Thanks to Kiwanis International and other partners, more
than 70 percent of households in the developing world now use iodized
salt. When the World Summit for Children took place in 1990, less than
20 percent of salt in the developing world was iodized. Heads of state
and government from more than 70 countries at the Summit set a number
of ambitious goals for children, including the goal of virtually eradicating
iodine deficiency disorders.

Labels and calendars
When an individual joins a Kiwanis club, the Kiwanis
International Foundation recognizes this commitment by sending return
address mailing labels.
This gives new Kiwanians an opportunity to learn more about the Foundation
through its gift-giving programs.
The Kiwanis International Foundation has created another perfect way
to let Kiwanians become knowledgeable about the Foundation.
The KIF Calendar contains key dates of events and brief information about
Kiwanis International and the Foundation. Donations made to the Foundation
through the calendar program are placed in its unrestricted fund. This
same fund is used to award grants each year to international organizations
that share Kiwanis International's goals and objectives.
