Make
an unrestricted contribution to the Kiwanis International Foundation between
now and April 30, 2010, and Kiwanis International will match it, doubling the
impact of your gift.
It's
all part of the Kiwanis International Foundation's New Beginning Campaign
Challenge, the first-ever philanthropic partnership between the foundation and
Kiwanis International. For the first time, Kiwanis International will match all
unrestricted contributions to the foundation on a $1-for-$1 basis, up to
$750,000. The match will apply on contributions made now through April 30, 2010
as the foundation hopes to raise $1.5 million to support its grants and
programs.
"The
match offers an opportunity to double the impact of your gift and will enable
the foundation to invest more generously to help disadvantaged children and
communities across the globe," says Linda Brimmer, the foundation's chief
operating officer." The foundation helps Kiwanis fulfill its mission of serving
the world's children by distributing grants to districts and clubs."
Recent
foundation grants reflect the shared values of Kiwanians across the globe, and
have:
-
Enabled
a West African school to be moved out of a flood plain.
-
Provided
tuition funds to economically stressed families in California.
-
Funded
job trade instruction for orphaned Romanian children.
You can give gifts through check, credit card or
stock transfer, and do so securely online. For more information, call Matt Morris, the
foundation's chief fundraising officer, at 317-217-6234, or send him an e-mail.
