Soon you can spend more time improving your community — and less time figuring out how much to charge new members. A simplified dues policy begins on October 1, 2021. On that date, the New Member Fee will be eliminated from Kiwanis International and all Kiwanis districts. Instead, anyone who joins a Kiwanis club during the Kiwanis year will be charged prorated dues and fees, based on the month they join.
On each subsequent October 1 (the first day of the Kiwanis year), all members will then be assessed the annual dues-and-fees amount.
The elimination of the New Member Fee was decided by the Kiwanis International Board in October 2019 to take effect on October 1, 2021.
Kiwanis International member dues are US$52 per year for Tier A; $34 for Tier B; and $23 for Tier C clubs. *
These amounts have not changed since 2015 and, per Kiwanis International bylaws, can only be changed by a vote of the delegates at a Kiwanis International convention. (Each district finalizes its own dues and fees based on its budgetary needs for the upcoming administrative year by mid-September for implementation in October. See the current district dues at kiwanis.org/districtdues.)
Kiwanis International uses the proceeds from dues and fees to fund meeting expenses, membership materials, shipping, grants, technology infrastructure and other expenses. Additionally, English-speaking members in the U.S. and Canada are charged $8 annually for Kiwanis magazine and $17 for liability insurance and Directors & Officers Insurance. Those fees will also be prorated for new members.
This chart will help you figure out the charges assessed by Kiwanis International for clubs in Tier A.
