The Nebraska-Iowa Kiwanis District has promoted Youth Mental Health Awareness as its District Service Project since 2022-2023. Clubs have been encouraged to use a variety of resources to help bring awareness to the issues and struggles that many kids endure. Clubs have also been encouraged to fund projects with their communities and schools to reinforce mental well-being in our youth.
Thanks to funding provided by the Kiwanis Children’s Fund*, the District is able to offer:
8 – $250 grants to clubs to be used for projects in their communities and schools.
These grants are for projects that promote mental health awareness, foster mental well-being and/or form partnerships that help meet the mental-health related needs of kids.
This effort is to help break the silence and end the stigma behind mental health. There are resources and projects that can make a difference. Many clubs in the district have already taken steps to help, but we need more clubs to get involved. New projects, as well as ongoing projects, are eligible for these special grant dollars.
The timeline for the 2025 application and project implementation is fast-moving, as these grant dollars need to be spent by the end of the current Kiwanis year. The application deadline is May 7 and notification of award will take place shortly thereafter.
Kids Need Kiwanis and the Nebraska-Iowa District needs you to help kids grow up healthy, both in body and mind!
*Funding for this effort comes from a District Grant Program at Kiwanis Children’s Fund. KCF designates a percentage of a district’s total undesignated giving from the previous Kiwanis year. This includes gifts from individuals, clubs and other entities within the district to the Children’s Fund. This grant program is by invitation only and districts must be in good standing to receive funding.
4 DAYS, YEARLONG INSPIRATION
Sharing. Learning. Networking. Creating lifelong friendships. Finding inspiration. There are countless reasons to attend the 2025 Kiwanis International Convention in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, U.S. Whether you’re a seasoned leader, longtime Kiwanian or new to our organization, you’ll return home energized. Don’t miss the most exciting event of the Kiwanis year — and get empowered to drive positive change in your club and community.
