Missouri-Arkansas Kiwanis

The Missouri-Arkansas District of Kiwanis International (composed of all the Kiwanis Clubs in Missouri and Arkansas) began with a single club in St. Louis on July 19, 1917. Now, more than 100 years later, The Mo-Ark District remains committed to serving others, with dozens of clubs across its nine regions.

What is Kiwanis?

Kiwanis International is a global community of clubs, members and partners dedicated to improving the lives of children one community at a time. Today, we stand with more than 550,000 members from K-Kids to Key Club to Kiwanis and many ages in between in 80 countries and geographic areas. Each community has different needs, and Kiwanis empowers members to pursue creative ways to serve the needs of children, such as fighting hunger, improving literacy and offering guidance.

Kiwanis clubs host nearly 150,000 service projects each year.

Dues and New Member Fees

Oct. 1, 2024

Kiwanis International invoices each club for annual dues based on their membership at the start of the year. Usually the invoice is mailed around Nov. 1 based on membership rosters on Oct. 10.

Notice that KI collects the district dues at the same time.

The Board of Directors of each Kiwanis Club decides what Club Dues to charge its members. The difference between the member’s fee and the KI Dues is known as Club Dues. The due amount is established and documented in the club by-laws. To change its Club Dues, a club must revise its by-laws and submit them to KI for approval.

The breakdown of dues is as follows:

  • $77 KI Dues
  • $18 Liability Insurance
  • $4 Directors & Officers Insurance
