The Kiwanis Foundation of Canada is a nonprofit charitable foundation endorsed and approved by the 3 Kiwanis Districts of Kiwanis International operating in Canada. The Foundation is governed by a board of volunteer Kiwanians from the three Kiwanis Districts of Canada.

Primarily, we work collaboratively with Kiwanis clubs and Kiwanians in their communities, including:

a) to advance education by providing publicly available scholarships to students in need or those who display academic excellence to be used for post-secondary education.

b) to relieve poverty and advance education by providing financial assistance for children and youth in need to participate in organized youth programs or camps.c) to relieve poverty by providing for basic necessities of life, including food, clothing and/or shelter for children or youth who are in need.

d) to protect the environment for the benefit of the public by funding community projects that protect, conserve, or restore natural ecosystems and/or reduce pollution.

e) to provide financial and material relief for victims of natural disasters or sudden catastrophes; and

f) to do all such things as are ancillary and incidental to the attainment of the charitable purposes.

The Foundation's funds are received primarily from individual Kiwanis Members and their Clubs in our three Districts of Kiwanis in Canada. Gifts from corporations, other foundations, groups and individuals are also received. All donations are used to carry out the Foundation's stated purposes, unless specified as endowment funds.
