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.
This month, CDKF Board Member Don Dudley presented the CDKF annual donation of $3,000 to Rose Bevilacqa of the Hospital Foundation at Nemours Children's Health.
The funds will be used to support their garden program which is maintained by the Nemours Estate employees for the benefit of the children of the hospital. The food grown here goes to families of children in the hospital who are in need of assistance for the needs of the families. Nemours treats children ages prenatal to 18 years of age. Once they turn 18, if possible, they will be transferred to the Christinia hospital in Newark, DE about 5 miles from this hospital.
Our support of our Capital District pediatric trauma centers would not be possible without the support of our donors. Thank you for helping us support these life changing facilities! ... See MoreSee Less

Club grants from the CDKF are used to benefit your community in many ways!
Today, we want to share with you what the Kiwanis Club of Font Royal was able to accomplish with their grant money. They helped E. Wilson Morrison Elementary School upgrade their playground, positively impacting all the children in their community ❤️
