Club Dues
Each Kiwanis club’s Board of Directors determines the amount of club dues charged to members. Club dues are the portion of a member’s payment that exceeds the required KI and district dues. The dues amount is specified in the club’s bylaws.
To change club dues, a club must amend its bylaws and submit the revision to Kiwanis International for approval.
New Member Fees
In 2021, Kiwanis International and the Missouri-Arkansas District adopted a prorated dues structure for new members.
Members joining in October pay the full annual dues amount. Beginning in November, the dues obligation is reduced by 1/12 of the annual amount for each month remaining in the Kiwanis year.
The fees shown above apply to a standard Kiwanis membership.
Corporate Memberships
Kiwanis offers a Corporate Membership option that allows a business, organization, or company to hold the membership rather than an individual. The organization designates a representative to participate in club meetings and activities on its behalf.
If the designated representative changes due to job responsibilities, retirement, or other circumstances, the organization may appoint a new representative without creating a new membership. This helps maintain continuity and allows businesses to stay engaged in the club even when personnel changes occur.
Corporate memberships are subject to the same Kiwanis International, district, and club dues requirements as other memberships unless otherwise specified by Kiwanis policies.
Former Service Leadership Program (SLP) Members
Special dues rates are available for former Key Club and Circle K International members.
For the first two years of membership, eligible former SLP members are exempt from the $77 Kiwanis International dues AND are exempt from the $30 MO-ARK Dues. However, they must still pay:
