Kiwanis Edu”K”ation Moment
Monies received by Kiwanis clubs from fund-raising projects in which the public participates or from members or others for service activities sponsored by the club must be segregated from the administrative funds of the club and used only for the club ’s service activities. Only the actual costs of the fund-raising activity can be charged to the service account. Nor can interest earned by the service account be transferred to the administrative account. All non-service operating costs of the club must be charged to an administrative account, which is funded by member dues and fees. This club has 2 separate accounts, activity and administrative.
