When a disaster strikes the foundation uses your donations to the Disaster Assistance Fund (DAF) to help–100% of funds donated go exclusively to declared disasters for assistance.
If you or your area are affected, the Disaster Assistance Fund (DAF) provides help in the event of a natural or man-made disaster declared by the local, state, or Federal government, or the District Governor or Foundation President.
Assistance is available directly to a Kiwanian or a Kiwanis family, or to support Kiwanis club projects assisting with disaster relief efforts in their communities.
Assistance is limited to one time per project or per Kiwanis family per disaster.
Multiple requests from a Kiwanis club in any 30-day period will be considered; however, consideration will first be given to Kiwanis clubs applying for the first time in the initial 30 days.
If the club already spent money on a project, include copies of your receipts as part of the application’s project budget.
Assistance is limited to the amount available in the Disaster Assistance Fund.
If assistance is approved for a Kiwanis club project, The Kiwanis club shall
Furnish the Capital District Kiwanis Foundation with an assistance and funds expenditure report within 30 days of completion of the project. This report shall include photos and video clips, if available, copies of all promotional materials (newsletter articles, website posts, etc.) and other data related to the assistance received. Failure to report will result in disqualifying your club for future assistance.
Acknowledge assistance from Capital Kiwanis and the Capital District Kiwanis Foundation in all public relations notices. If posting to social media, on your website mention https://k03.site.kiwanis.org/foundation/ and https://capitaldistrictkiwanis, and on Facebook mention @capitaldistrictkiwanisfoundation and @capitaldistrictkiwanis.
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.
What are you doing today to take advantage of your Sunday while resting up for the week ahead? Not everyone has the same opportunity for rest and relaxation on the weekend, as many families with children who have suffered pediatric trauma are anxiously anticipating what this week will hold.
One of the nine pediatric trauma centers that the Foundation sponsors is The Children's Inn at NIH / @thechildrensinn. Many families travel here on Sundays to spend the week, as their children participate in medical trials which are often the last option for treatment. The Children's Inn provides a space to stay, meals, and comfort away from home. We are very happy to support them annually as the different they make is invaluable!
We are able to support the Children's Inn with an annual $3,000 donation, which is possible through our annual Ducky Derby raffle! Have you purchased your ticket yet? It only takes 1 ticket in the drum to win, but you have to participate to have a chance.
Spring Grant Funding Spotlight: The Kiwanis Club of Alexandria (Kiwanis Alexandria, Kiwanis Club of Alexandria) was awarded $5,000 to execute a yearlong campaign. They will be raising $50,000 for Alexandria's Childcare Professionals culminating in a Kiwanis Club hosted event in September 2022. At that time, COVID-19 Childcare Hero Grants will be presented to approximately 200 operating childcare centers, which employ over 1,500 professionals, and serve thousands of children from the community.
We are very excited to support 7 Kiwanis Clubs through our spring grant funding cycle totaling $21,000! Look for grant spotlights over the next few weeks as we share what each club will be using the money for.
Did your club miss the grants deadline? It is never too early to start planning for our fall cycle! All fall grant applications are due by September 15th and more information can be found at f03.site.kiwanis.org/what-we-do/club-grants/... See MoreSee Less
