Tablet
of Honor

The Tablet of Honor is the most prestigious form
of recognition given by the Kiwanis International
Foundation. It cannot be purchased for oneself; it
must be given to another. Clubs and individuals
who wish to honor a past president, member,
spouse, public official, or organization may do so
with a US$2,000 contribution. |

Heritage Society

The Kiwanis International Foundation established
the Heritage Society to recognize individuals
who named the Foundation in their estate plans.
As a main source of endowment support, Heritage
Society gifts ensure future financial stability
of the Foundation. |

Founder's Circle

The Founders Circle is a unique and special recognition
that honors a group of donors (individual or husband
and wife) who contribute one gift or a series
of gifts totaling US$25,000 or more to the Kiwanis
International Foundation.
Annual
Club Gift Campaign

|
| |
Each
year, the Kiwanis International Foundation conducts
its Annual Club Gift Campaign to provide the Foundation
with an unrestricted source of income. The Annual
Club Gift Campaign is the Foundation's primary source
of income, and helps it determine which projects it
can support each year. Contributions to the Annual
Club Gift Campaign of US$5 per member help the Kiwanis
International Foundation meet the needs of children
worldwide through grants, scholarships, and disaster
relief. Your Kiwanis International Foundation to date
has contributed more than US$68 million to directly
help children lead happy, healthy, and productive
lives.
