Foundation Grants
Achievement Award Grants - This grant is in recognition of the accomplishments of your club in carrying out the objects of Kiwanis and our slogan "Serving the Children of the World." Clubs are selected by a committee which grades the club "Annual Report." The fund from which these awards are made has its origin dating back to 1930 when clubs in the Santa Barbara area established a trust from which $150.00 per year was awarded to the four winning clubs of the "Annual District Efficiency Contest." This $150.00 award remained the same from 1930 until 1998. The Kiwanis Cal-Nev-Ha Foundation now administers this fund and awards winning clubs in eight categories grants of $500.00. In keeping with the original trust established by the Santa Barbara clubs, this grant is to be used to provide scholarships to students in the local area.
Club Grants - The Club Grant Program was established by the Kiwanis Cal-Nev-Ha Foundation to assist Kiwanis clubs in financing club service projects on a start-up basis.
