Kiwanis®

Children are at the heart of the Kiwanis International Foundation. Its mission is to assist Kiwanis International in serving the children of the world.

The Kiwanis International Foundation was established in 1939. At the time, Kiwanis International, which was founded in 1915, was preparing to celebrate its 25th anniversary.

Kiwanian Walter Zeller envisioned a strong Foundation, so he kicked off the Foundation’s first fundraiser by donating 25 silver US dollars. The auction of those coins ne�ed US$625 for the new Foundation, which today has grown to a multimillion-dollar organization that helps Kiwanis clubs serve children around the world.

MEETING THE NEEDS OF CHILDREN AROUND THE WORLD

Children throughout the world suffer from hunger, abuse, neglect, and improper or substandard medical care. The Kiwanis International Foundation has the opportunity and responsibility to unite the members of the Kiwanis family to ease the suffering of children around the world.

Through continuous support from Kiwanis members and clubs, the Foundation strives to improve children’s lives by providing grants and aid, such as:

• Kiwanis Club of Stuttgart, Arkansas; Kiwanis Backpacks for Kids: This program provides food for schoolchildren in need for the weekends when they do not have access to lunches. The children receive backpacks filled with nutritious, easy-to-prepare foods each Friday.

• Kiwanis Club of Riverside Arlington, California; The NineZero Project: Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD), caused by prenatal exposure to alcohol, is the leading cause of intellectual and many other disabilities in the U.S. and the Western world, yet is 100 percent preventable. NineZero, which stands for nine months—zero alcohol, provides education to young people to help them avoid this hazardous behavior.

• Kiwanis Club of Des Plaines, Illinois; Shoe/Boot Project: The Kiwanis Club has provided shoes or boots at no cost to more than 600 local schoolchildren over the past 6 years. This grant will allow the club to continue to support this growing project.

• Kiwanis Club of Jeremie, Haiti (photo background); School for Street Children: This project will sponsor 100 children in Jeremie, Haiti to a�end elementary school. This grant provide teachers, a daily meal, and school uniforms.
