kids matter.

We invest and manage funds that support religious, charitable, scientific, literary, and educational organizations.  Funds are donated by the community at large and raised by the Kiwanis Club of Yakima.

In 1968 leaders within the Kiwanis Club of Yakima formed the Yakima Kiwanis Charitable Trust Foundation with $500.  They were convinced that a need existed for a well-managed and dependable Trust to support the charitable mission of Kiwanis.  Millions of Trust dollars have been invested in the youth of our community. Today the trust fund corpus is over $1millon.

Like the Kiwanis International mission of serving the children of the World, the Yakima Kiwanis Charitable Trust Foundation supports children locally with college and trade school scholarships, youth camperships and infrastructure projects that focus on children.
