| The Sustaining Member program of the Foundation is
vital for the issuance of grants to clubs for project
assistance. By virtue of being a Kiwanian in good standing in
the Florida District of Kiwanis, a Kiwanian is a "Basic"
member of the Florida Kiwanis Foundation. However, each
Kiwanian is requested to contribute at least $25 per year to the
Foundation and become a Sustaining Member rather than a Basic
member.
Income received from Sustaining Member applications and
renewals goes directly into the Grants Fund and is redistributed to
the clubs in the form of grants. Although the Grants Fund also
receives income from the Foundation Endowment, our endowment is not
sufficient yet to fund grant requests. Thus it is very important
that we receive annual payments into the Grants Fund from sources
outside the Endowment Fund.
