Individuals and Kiwanis Clubs in our district are two leading sources of revenue, tax-deductible to individuals. We welcome donations of any size, and all are used to serve children in communities in our district. See giving opportunities below.
Clubs often make an annual gift (not be confused with gifts to KI’s Kiwanis Children Fund) to our foundation. We recommend a minimum of $3 per member (district recommends $5 per member for clubs pursuing Distinguished status) based on the number of members on October 1. This contribution could come from the club administrative, service or foundation account. These funds are split between Pediatric Trauma Centers and the general fund.
Recurring (AKA sustaining) gifts are how you can make an impact all year long. If it’s easier to make small monthly/bimonthly/quarterly donations than a single large donation, this is your to do that. Simply check the ‘Show my support by making this a monthly donation’ box on the donation form.
If you prefer to send a check, make it payable to Capital District Kiwanis Foundation and include the appropriate form below when you mail everything to CDKF Treasurer David Lurie, 15189 Londons Bridge Road, Haymarket, VA 20169.
