Kiwanis Children’s Fund

We want to acknowledge and sincerely thank the Kiwanis Children’s Fund for its generous donation to our Kaleidoscope Playground Project.

The mission of the Kiwanis Children’s Fund is to develop resources that transform the goodwill and vision of Kiwanians into programs that serve the children of the world. The work Kiwanians do in each cause helps provide a head start on success in the next, ultimately creating leaders who then make the same impact on succeeding generations. 

The causes include:

• Health and nutrition. The Children’s Fund provides grants to clubs, districts and global partners to provide healthy food to children around the world. From the prenatal stage to age 5, a child’s brain grows at an astounding rate. But that development depends on access to key nutrients, including iodine.  
• Education and literacy. The Children’s Fund provides grants to support club and district literacy and education projects. Worldwide, 250 million children lack basic literacy skills. In the U.S., 88% of students who fail to earn a high school diploma were struggling readers in third grade. When we help someone acquire literacy skills, we empower them with better opportunities.
• Youth leadership development. The Children’s Fund helps young people evolve into community leaders by supporting Kiwanis Service Leadership Programs with grants and scholarships. With access to leadership and volunteer opportunities, youth learn responsibility, self-discipline, and respect. These are key factors in overcoming challenges and achieving academic success.  

The support our club received helped to make this project a reality. To learn more about this branch of Kiwanis International, click on the logo below.
