    The Utah-Idaho District Kiwanis Foundation is a 501c3 charitable corporation with a mission to financially assist Utah-Idaho Sponsored Youth Programs; to provide scholarships for worthy members of Utah-Idaho Circle K and Key Clubs; and to financially assist needy persons. Six Kiwanis members of the Utah-Idaho District of Kiwanis serve as the Board of Directors, administering the affairs of the foundation through fundraising, prudent investing of foundation funds, and deciding on avenues to disperse the funds for the greatest good. Contributions are received from Kiwanis Clubs, Kiwanis members, corporations, individuals,
    memorials, estate bequests, and fundraising promotions. These funds are used to serve needs presented to the Foundation.

    Utah/Idaho District Foundation Grant

    GRANT INFORMATION
    Kiwanis and SLP Clubs in the Utah-Idaho District are eligible to apply for a matching grant for club
    projects. The Foundation reviews applications at least twice per year at Mid-Winter and District Convention, and awards grants based on available funding in the budget.

    Grant applications are considered based on the clubs’ financial participation, in-kind contributions, and club-member efforts. Projects benefiting children will be given priority. Grant funding is a maximum of $500. Special consideration will be given to the district’s SLP clubs and UI Kiwanis clubs that have been chartered for less than one year with the matching-funds requirement potentially being removed for these two groups. The Foundation looks for proposals that reflect careful planning, demonstrate a strong base of support, and are matched with local funding. Service projects must support the ideals and objectives of Kiwanis International as well as the Utah-Idaho District Kiwanis Foundation’s mission.
    Applications must be received no later than… February 1st for Mid-Winter Conference review.
    July 1st for District Convention review. Requirements for the Grant Application Process. Please type information into the application form. All requested information must be included, or the application will not be considered.

    In preparing the proposal, grant applicants must include the following information:
    o Completed application form and project description.
    o Project description that must state what the project will achieve, how the club will accomplish
    the goals of the project, who and how many will benefit from the project, how long the project
    will last, what plans there are to continue the project after the grant period, and how the club
    will provide feedback to the Foundation on the success of the project.
    o A letter from the President of the sponsoring Kiwanis Club or SLP club explaining how and
    confirming club involvement with the volunteer service and/or financial support.
    o A budget for the overall project income and expenses showing how grant funds will be used
    for the project.
    o A copy of the Kiwanis Club’s financial statement showing their commitment and ability or lack
    of ability to support the project. If a SLP club, a letter from the club treasurer or president if
    there is not a treasurer explaining the club’s finances.

    Eligibility
    Grant applications must support the purpose and goals of the Utah-Idaho Kiwanis District
    Foundation. Grant requests for projects sponsored by and showing involvement of qualifying Kiwanis

    considering grant requests. The Foundation’s primary goal is to provide funding for projects that can

    o Request seed money for innovative programs in the Foundation’s field of interest.
    o Encourage matching gifts or additional funding from other donors.
