Capital District Kiwanis Foundation
The foundation supports causes that positively effects the children of the world. Every Kiwanian in the Capital District is a member of the Capital District Kiwanis Foundation.
Time to think about the Caring Corner Basket Raffle happening in August at DCON. Need ideas? Your club can assemble an Italian Cuisine Basket. Pack it with artisan delights like Tuscany pasta, Basil Pesto Ala Genovese, breadsticks, dark chocolate, a recipe card for your secret "gravy", wine, and a keepsake colander. Get your members involved in thinking of a theme and purchasing items.
All proceeds from the Caring Corner benefit the 11 pediatric hospitals the foundation supports.

Why donate to the Capital District Kiwanis Foundation?
Many donors do it for altruism. Donors are driven by a genuine concern and compassion for children who are less fortunate. There are many communities in the Capital District lacking in proper health care, food, clothing, safe playground equipment, and libraries for children. The Foundation supports clubs providing services to children.
