Introduction
|
Every Kiwanian in the Capital District is a member of the Capital District Foundation. This presentation explains the purpose, who is on the Board, and how funds are generated and distributed.
|
|
Since 1972
|
The Capital District Kiwanis Foundation was formed Sept. 30, 1972, to support Sponsored Youth at the District level and provide funding for other District projects. As with all Kiwanis Foundations, the IRS recognizes contributions to the CDKF as tax deductible. |
|
The Board
|
The Capital District Kiwanis Foundation Board is made up of one elected trustee from each Division, the Foundation President, President-elect, Treasurer, Immediate Past President, and elected Executive Secretary; the Capital District Governor, the Governor-Elect, the Immediate Past Governor, and the District Secretary-Treasurer. |
|
Trustees
|
Division Trustees are elected at each Division's Annual meeting at which the Lt. Gov. is elected . Trustees serve a four year term beginning the Oct. 1st following their election. Division elections are staggered so that approximately one-fourth are elected each year. |
|
Members
|
Members of the Executive Committee serve for one year while representing their Division. The committee consists of the President, two Vice Presidents, the Treasurer, Immediate Past President, and the Executive Secretary. |
Trustee
Responsibilities
|
Trustees are responsible for attending and representing their division at scheduled District Foundation Board meetings. They visit clubs in their Division to make presentations, recognize clubs or individuals who have given support to the Foundation. |
|
Awards
|
In addition to the Pediatric Trauma Centers grants, there are four
major areas of support: Sponsored Youth, Supported Programs, Matching
Grants and Project Grants. |
|
Service Leadership Programs
|
Local clubs that support Sponsored Youth with a Builder's Club, Key Club or Circle K know of the rewards and financial commitment. |
Youth
Outreach
|
Kiwanis Clubs which do not support a Sponsored Youth club may want to contribute to the Foundation's Youth Outreach program. District sponsored youth officers receive financial help for educational training expenses and the cost of attending District and International conventions. |
|
Supported Programs
|
Supported Programs consist of the Kiwanis International Matching Grant, Teenager of the Year, Robert H. Turner, Jr. Scholarships, and Pediatric Trauma Units, among others. |
Matching
Grants
|
Each year the Capital District Kiwanis Foundation contributes $500 each to the Kiwanis International Foundation Matching Grant program for Key Club and Circle K. In return Kiwanis International Foundation honors one Capital District Key Clubber and one Circle K member with $1000 each. |
Project
Grants
|
Individual clubs and/or other organizations may submit a Grant Application for funds to launch and sustain worthwhile projects in their area. The Foundation Board reveiws the applications and awards a minimum of $500 and a maximum of $5000 to qualifying projects. Grants are issued twice during the year in November (Cycle I submissions) and May (Cycle II submissions). |
Teenager
of the Year
|
The District's Teenager of the Year Program honors an outstanding student not only for good grades, but for his or her involvement in the community and a willingness to give of himself or herself. |

Fund
Raisers
|
Be it the District Ducky Derby, the Caring Corner, or some other fund raising activity; the Capital District Foundation asks for your support. |
|
Smallest Contribution
|
The smallest contribution has the potential to become the largest investment. Every fall, each Kiwanian is asked to contribute 1 dollar. |
|
Endowment Programs
|
There are several endowment programs available too. All funds are invested and only the income from the investments is used for projects. |
Life
Membership
|
The Life Member program honors Kiwanians who contribute $100 or four installments of $25 each. Contributors receive a life member lapel pin ring, certificate, and recognition on the Life Member display board and this web site. |
Tablet
of Honor
|
The Tablet of Honor is the highest recognition that a Kiwanian or club can bestow upon another person. The contribution is $1000. The recipient receives a plaque and lapel pin. Their name is placed on the Tablet of Honor board and this web site. The donor also receives a plaque. |
|
Memorial
|
The Roll of Honor Memorial recognizes a Kiwanian, or friend who passed away and is honored by their peers or family. The contribution is $100. The name of the person being memorialized is permanently displayed on the Memorial Board at all District functions. |
