Each administrative year before October 15th
the club’s Board of Directors approves two budgets – one for the year’s service
project funds and the other for the year’s administrative project funds.
An enduring and essential financial basic principle of
Kiwanis International is that funds
raised from the COMMUNITY CAN BE USED FOR SERVICE PROJECTS ONLY and not for
administrative costs.
Funds raised from Kiwanians may be used either for
service projects or administrative costs.
The two budgets outline the operations of the club for
the up coming year.
The administrative fund expenses for the club include the costs associated with the printing and mailing of the weekly club newsletter – the Sandpiper, all club supplies, the meal costs of guests & speakers, reimbursement to members for activities approved by the Board of Directors and the like.
