Fund helps Kiwanis help children

With its motto of “Every Kiwanian, Every Year,” the newly created Sustaining Donor program recognizes members who support the Kiwanis Children’s Fund on an annual basis. Its purpose is to boost the impact of the Children’s Fund, heightening the impact of the Kiwanis family throughout the world.

“The Children’s Fund is our main, unrestricted fund that provides grants and scholarships and supports our Service Leadership Programs,” notes Gregg Puls, Kiwanis International Foundation manager of giving. “Kiwanis has provided more than US$182 million in grants over the years to meet the needs of the world’s children. Those needs are growing, so we need to bolster the Children’s Fund by encouraging people to become regular givers, and to consider increasing what they give.”

Though the Sustaining Donor program encourages all Kiwanians to give at least $100 a year, a gift of any size is appreciated. Check out kiwanis.org/magazine for more information on the foundation and the Sustaining Donor program.
