Gateway Region Kiwanis Foundation

Gateway Region Kiwanis Foundation

Purpose:

For the benefit and usage of all Kiwanis Clubs in Division 6, 7, 8. and 9 to support the charitable endeavors of Kiwanis International and the Missouri Arkansas District.

In the St. Louis area, Region IV maintains Kiwanis Gateway Foundation as a 501 (c)3. If your club is not 501 (c)3, but a donor requires one, you can arrange for donation to the Gateway Foundation, who will then distribute funds to charities of your choice (for a modest 0.5% service fee, or minimum $1.00). For details contact the current Region IV Trustee.

4.  Include the charity to receive the funds with contact information.  The charity must be a 501(3).  Include the charity EIN or IRS Form W-9 if available.  The check will be issued immediately.
