Programs
Leadership education/development and communication - kids need kiwanis; for more than 100 years kiwanis has been building and developing leaders at all levels and all around the world. Kiwanis offers a unique brand of leadership through service to others. A major focus for kiwanis is the development of leadership educational materials for their club, division, district, and international officers. It is important to educate club officers on how to lead and operate a club, to educate lieutenant governors on how to lead a division, to educate district officers on how to lead and operate a district, and to educate the board of trustees on how to lead the international organization. With effective leadership at all levels, the mission and function of kiwanis clubs and kiwanis international, serving the children of the world and in our communities, can be carried out effectively.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2021 to 2022, from $39M to $31M (−20%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 5 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2020: the base held at 1 funder, grant income fell $8k → $7k.
1 of 5 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 22% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
Left out of every figure on this page: $243k from one payer (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Kiwanis International Foundation). These are real filings, and they are not money KIWANIS INTERNATIONAL INC raised.
From the IRS filings of KIWANIS INTERNATIONAL INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 3 of 5 funders by total. Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How concentrated its funding is
KIWANIS INTERNATIONAL INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 54% of grant income and the top three 100%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
100% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund KIWANIS INTERNATIONAL INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2020 100% — broadly stable.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration.

Where its funders are
KIWANIS INTERNATIONAL INC draws 100% of its grant income from funders outside Indiana, across 2 states in all.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $7k arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
