Of course, $245,000 in 1978 does not have the same value today. We need to INCREASE our endowment so we can better support our signature program in New England. "Strive for Five" was introduced in 2007 as a first step "Toward Topping Ten." Truely, a $10-million endowment is where we need to be!
Please give generousy to KFNE, whether you are a Kiwanian or not. Not a Kiwanian? We'd love to have you consider our organization. Please fill out this membership inquiry form and someone wil contact you.
KFNE programs help prevent pediatric trauma by educating young children and parents. Learn more about the programs of the Kiwanis Pediatric Trauma Institute. You'll learn why this is so important!
Please give generously. Here's how:
In 1978, the Kiwanis Foundation of New England voted to support a pediatric trauma center at Boston's Floating Hospital for Children with $245,000 annually. Fundraising continued for many years, reaching this goal, until in 1990, an endowment fund was created to raise $3-million to yield $245,000.
Foundation RED Jackets and Crest Upgrade
All Kiwanins can show their support for programs of KFNE by investing $1000 (as a one-time gift or paid over time.) A Red Jacket is proper attire at any event of the Foundation.
UPGRADES - If you already have a Red Jacket, upgrade your level to a Cantor, Esteemed, District Fellow or Lady, Kiwanis Fellow or Lady, Founding Fellow or Lady, President's Council or Leadership Council. Details Here (PDF form.)
Your Support is Needed and Appreciated!
Here's How To Give
John D. Morton Society
Being a member of the Morton Society will distinuish you as supporting the Foundation with an unrestricted gift. Donations start at $25 to receive a Morton Pin. A uniquely-numbered Morton Medal will be presented to you with a cash gift of $5,000. You can also receive a Morton Medal with a "legacy gift" of $5,000 or more. Simple wording in a will, or the naming of KFNE in an insurance policy can accomplish a "legacy gift." Get a list of Morton Medal recipients and learn more here.
Annual Gift from Kiwanis Clubs
The Foundation counts on local Kiwanis Clubs to continue an annual gift. Program fees, emerging needs, and overhead are all real expenses that need to be addressed. KFNE truly appreciates an annual gift of $5.00 or more per member. Annual Gift Form
