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.
