The Pennsylvania Kiwanis Foundation encourages Kiwanis clubs and Kiwanis-family service leadership programs to apply for grant funding. All grant proposals must further the goals and ideals of Kiwanis as well as promote the growth of Kiwanis.

Some things to consider when writing a grant proposal.

  • Kiwanis Family Grants are not meant to fund third-party events that your club is supporting. These grants must support a Kiwanis-branded and Kiwanis-led event.
  • Priority will be given to those grant proposals that benefit children over those that solely benefit the community.
  • Grant proposal should involve an element of service from the group applying for the grant.
  • Organizations applying for a grant should be directly funding part of the program being considered.
