Every year the foundation has donated our Kiwanis Foundation supports those who care for the most traumatic injuries children in the Capital District suffer. Since 1987 the foundation has donated over $825,000. Presently the foundation supports 11 facilities:
We fund these through 100% of the Ducky Derby and Caring Corner net raffle income, 50% of annual district Kiwanis club gift donations, additional contributions by district Kiwanis clubs and individuals, and endowment income.
In the 1986–1987 administrative year the Capital District Kiwanis Foundation made the first gift to a Children’s Pediatric Center: $3,500 to the Children’s Hospital National Medical Center in Washington, DC.
In the 1987–1988 administrative year we added three more hospitals:
Children’s Center John Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore, MD
Children’s Medical Center, Medical College of Virginia, Richmond, VA
Children’s Medical Center, University of Virginia Hospital, Charlottesville, VA
In 1991–1992 we added two more hospitals:
Children’s Hospital of the King’s Daughters, Norfolk, VA
Children’s Hospital at Community Hospital of Roanoke Valley, Roanoke, VA
In 1992–1993 we added the medical Center of Delaware in Wilmington.
In 2013–2014 year the Niswonger Children’s Hospital in Johnson City, TN became the eighth hospital supported by the CDKF. The reason for this selection is that parents in Southwest Virginia use this hospital in many cases for a child with a serious illness since it is closer than Roanoke, VA. In 2022 we switched to the closer Bristol Regional Medical Center which partners with Niswonger Children’s Hospital.
In 2019–2020 year the Children’s Inn located on the grounds of National Institutes of Health (NIH) in Bethesda, Maryland became the ninth facility supported by the CDKF. It provides family suites, central kitchens, stocked pantries, recreational and study facilities, and a shuttle bus around the NIH campus for children from around the world enrolled in clinical trials; trials are the last hope families have for traumatic life-threatening conditions.
In the 2021-2022 year the West Virginia Kiwanis Foundation merged with the CDKF. That added pediatric trauma support to West Virginia University’s Jon Michael Moore Trauma Center in Morgantown and Hoops Family Children’s Hospital in Huntington.

The foundation now supports 11 pediatric trauma facilities that care for children in the Capital District.
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
WOW! Thank you for all of your support in making a splash of cash for pediatric trauma! We have been able to hit 3.5% of our goal which is $14,000!
If you have not purchased your ticket, do so today and do not delay! Tickets are very easy to purchase online at the link below. It only takes one ticket to win!
