Our Kiwanis foundation funds scholarships awarded by the district’s Key Club and Circle K programs to deserving students. The foundation’s endowment funds these awards.
Robert H. Turner, Jr. Scholarship
The annual Robert H. Turner, Jr. Scholarship is awarded at the Capital District Key Club Convention to a Key Club Member who exemplifies to the highest degree the basic principles of Key Club – caring and service – in their homes, schools, and communities. The recipient shall be of high moral character and should have achieved excellence in all their endeavors.
The Ellis Stroup Key Club Leadership Scholarship is awarded at the Kiwanis District Convention to a Key Club member for leadership achievement. The recipient shall show evidence of outstanding leadership in a Key Club in the Capital District, participate in at least 80% in club projects and fund-raisers, show involvement and accomplishments in non-school activities, be accepted to a college, university or post-secondary school, and be a graduating senior.
The Capital District recognizes deserving teenagers each year for academic achievements, citizenship, service to school and community, growth and responsibility in his/her family, character and leadership performance. Nominees proceed through competition at club, division and ultimately district levels. The finalist wins $2,500 cash and a trip with their parents/guardians to the annual Kiwanis District Convention to receive the award.
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!
