Looking for a way to show your commitment to Kiwanis in our district all year long?
Sustained (or annual or recurring) giving could be for you!
What is sustained giving, and why did our Capital District Kiwanis Foundation initiate a program recently?
It began when the board realized that those of us who believe deeply in what our district foundation does didn’t have a way to demonstrate that commitment and make regular micro donations to support the foundation’s many good works.
For a little money each month I help ensure our foundation has a steady stream of contributions to match our year-round philanthropy. I skip a trip to a coffee shop, a bite at a fast-food restaurant, or a movie, and send the equivalent amount to our foundation instead. It’s not much by itself, but when combined with the small monthly donations of other Capital Kiwanians, like you, over the course of a year it adds up. And, in time It will enable the foundation to do even more to serve children in our communities.
I charge my small donations to a credit card and set up recurring payments. That way I don’t worry about forgetting to share my treasure with those in need, especially children.
I feel a sense of pride each time I donate to our foundation.
If you aren’t familiar with all the good our foundation does, check out its pages on the district website. See where all our money goes. Then think about whether an affordable sustaining gift is right for you too.
A child in need is deserving indeed. Sustained giving helps our foundation do more and more for them.

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.
Time to think about the Caring Corner Basket Raffle happening in August at DCON. Need ideas? Your club can assemble an Italian Cuisine Basket. Pack it with artisan delights like Tuscany pasta, Basil Pesto Ala Genovese, breadsticks, dark chocolate, a recipe card for your secret "gravy", wine, and a keepsake colander. Get your members involved in thinking of a theme and purchasing items.
All proceeds from the Caring Corner benefit the 11 pediatric hospitals the foundation supports.

Why donate to the Capital District Kiwanis Foundation?
Many donors do it for altruism. Donors are driven by a genuine concern and compassion for children who are less fortunate. There are many communities in the Capital District lacking in proper health care, food, clothing, safe playground equipment, and libraries for children. The Foundation supports clubs providing services to children.
