Club Gifting Programs

Clubs are asked to support the Kiwanis Cal-Nev-Ha Foundation on an annual basis with contributions to the several programs listed below.

Distinguished Service Award:
This district award is presented to an individual in appreciation for "many hours of service to Kiwanis and the community." A donation of $150.00 (which may come from a club's service account) provides a beautiful plaque and deserved recognition for the recipient. The Governor normally presents this award to a club member during the Official Visit to the division. DSAs are an important segment of the Official Visit. We suggest presidents write short introductions to be read upon presentation. To ensure timely delivery of the award, please allow 14 business days for processing.
Governor Oscar would like to see more clubs utilize the DSA as a way to recognize community members, in addition to Kiwanians. A separate plaque with a slight modification to the existing wording, is being created for clubs to honor a community member. The attached application reflects this change.

The Kiwanis Cal-Nev-Ha Foundation requests participation in their annual fundraising effort. Monies received go into the Foundation unrestricted funds. A $3.00 per member donation ($150.00 maximum) is welcomed and encouraged. A banner patch is awarded, based on October 1st membership.

Friends of the Foundation:
Kiwanis clubs or individuals may become "Friends of the Foundation" with a minimum $100.00 donation to the Kiwanis Cal-Nev-Ha Foundation. Members may designate their contribution toward the SLP Scholarship Fund or may designate their contribution as unrestricted. A wall plaque, inscribed with the recipient's name, club name, and year of the donation, is awarded. Friends of the Foundation anticipate contributing to the Kiwanis Cal-Nev-Ha Foundation on an annual basis; however, yearly contributions are not required. When an annual donation is made, a dated tab is sent to the donor to be added to the plaque. .

Hope of America Award:
Clubs may purchase plaques from the Foundation for presentation at any time. The HOA is ideal for presentations to SLP members, or any student your club would like to recognize for outstanding achievement. The cost is $30.00 per plaque, plus shipping and handling. The club is responsible for the engraving of the recipient's name.
