The Kiwanis International Foundation has given hundreds of thousands
of dollars to victims of disasters. When an avalanche crushed a city,
a bomb demolished a town, an earthquake shook a nation, or a flood wiped
out several states, Kiwanis International Foundation gathered its resources,
accepted contributions, and provided funds for the individuals, businesses,
communities, cities, and states that needed our immediate assistance.
The Kiwanis International Foundation Board of Trustees established a
revolving account so that the Kiwanis International Foundation could offer
immediate financial support to victims of unexpected disaster.
