Welcome! - Kiwanis is a global organization of
volunteers dedicated to improving the world one child and one community at a
time. The Kiwanis family of clubs has over 700,000 adult and youth members in
over 80 nations who participate in regular club meetings, service projects, and fundraising.
98 Years of Service - The Kiwanis Club of
Raleigh was chartered in 1920. With over 230 members, we are one of the largest and
oldest Kiwanis clubs in the world. For nearly a century, our club has been serving children of the
local community and the world through many projects,
including establishing the Kiwanis Park, building a Habitat for Humanity house,
raising over $100,000 to help eliminate iodine deficiency disorders (IDD) worldwide, raising
over $50,000 for a Kiwanis cabin at Victory Junction, and raising over
$110,000 for The Eliminate Project to eliminate maternal and neonatal tetanus
(MNT) worldwide.
In 2012, our club was inducted into the Raleigh Hall of
Fame, and we received a 2018 Fred Fletcher Outstanding Volunteer Award from
the City of Raleigh Parks, Recreation and Cultural Resources Department. We
raised over $385,000 for our 2020 Centennial Parks Project, and our foundation
gives annual grants to many local organizations to benefit children.
