Rosemead Kiwanis Club     "Serving the Community Since 1945"

KIWANIS  FOUNDATIONS

Rosemead Kiwanis, the Cal-Neva-Ha Region of Kiwanis International, and Kiwanis International each have parallel philanthropic 501(c)(3) counterpart "Foundations." Each is qualified to receive tax deductible contributions.  Many other Kiwanis Clubs have foundations as well. All are financed by bequests and earnings from past fund raising efforts.  It is these Foundations which technically fund, frequently in concert with others,  giving to our supported programs.

Club dues and receipts, including "happy dollar" amounts, paid by Kiwanis members go for administrative costs of the club. Monies from fines and fundraising activities (Rosemead Kiwanis presently has neither) go to the Foundation.

The budgets and assets of the Rosemead Kiwanis Foundation and Rosemead Kiwanis Club are totally separate, but both are administered by the Rosemead Kiwanis Board of Directors.  Due to past bequests received and subsequent prudent investment results, Rosemead Kiwanis Foundation grants are presently able to be financed from earnings rather than corpus.
