Grant Programs
Club Grants
The Cal-Nev-Ha Children’s Fund supports Kiwanis clubs’ interest in their local community needs. Often, however, a community need may far exceed a club’s ability to get the project started. The Club Grant Program was developed in 1984 to assist clubs with seed money when the scope of a service project exceeds the club’s financial resources.
Disaster Assistance Grants
The Disaster Assistance Grant Program was established to assist Kiwanis clubs in providing immediate disaster relief assistance in the event of a natural disaster.
Pediatric Trauma Program (PTP) Grants
As part of our major focus, the Cal-Nev-Ha Children's Fund offers Pediatric Trauma Program Grants to our Kiwanis and Service Leadership Programs (SLP) clubs by providing matching start-up funds to assist them in financing new service projects which seek to prevent and/or treat pediatric trauma – defined as sudden, unintentional physical injury – or for projects which seek to prevent and/or treat child/teen mental health issues.
PTP Grants for Partner Hospitals
PTP Grants for Partner Hospitals: The PTP Grant Program for Partner Hospitals makes available grants to our Partner Hospitals to assist them with their unfunded needs directly related to pediatric trauma and injury prevention.
Examples may include, but are not limited to the following:
Notice: The Cal-Nev-Ha Children's Fund only accepts grant applications from members of the Kiwanis family in the California-Nevada-Hawaii District of Kiwanis International, and from our established network of partner children's hospitals. We apologize that we are unable to fund organizations outside of this scope.
