Ways to support CKI

CKI Forever Fund 

Circle K International is passionately dedicated to transforming the world through service. Every year, we work tirelessly to uphold this commitment through impactful global and community service projects and enriching leadership-building activities. 

Today, your support is more crucial than ever. A gift to the CKI Forever Fund directly enhances the CKI member experience by addressing our most urgent needs. When you give, you help create more opportunities for college and university students to develop essential leadership skills and forge lifelong friendships. 

Join us in empowering the next generation of leaders and making a lasting difference in communities around the world. Together, we can achieve extraordinary things. 

Tomorrow Fund 

Your contribution to the Tomorrow Fund empowers CKI clubs to undertake impactful service projects that transform campuses and communities. CKI members utilize Tomorrow Fund grants to organize kid-friendly events, support the homeless and the food-insecure, enhance the environment and much more. 

By investing in the Tomorrow Fund, you help future CKI members make a positive difference in the world. You can contribute directly or recognize an exceptional CKI member through the Carthage-Pullman Society or the Sapphire Circle Honorary Award. 

What is the Tomorrow Fund? 

The Tomorrow Fund is an endowed fund within the Kiwanis Children’s Fund, specifically for CKI. CKI clubs and districts can apply for grants ranging from US$200 to US$2,000 to support service projects that benefit their campuses and communities. To act, identify a service project your club wants to tackle and apply for a grant to fund it.  

How to donate to the Tomorrow Fund? 

You can make a direct donation to the Tomorrow Fund or honor a CKI member with a membership in the Carthage-Pullman Society or the Sapphire Circle Honorary Award.  

Carthage-Pullman Society

The Carthage-Pullman Society honors Carthage College, the birthplace of CKI, and the Kiwanis Club of Pullman, Washington, U.S., which helped establish the concept of a campus service club. Members can join the society with a US$250 gift to the Tomorrow Fund or be honored through a gift made by a family member, advisor, or fellow CKI member. New members receive a commemorative lapel pin, with optional medallions and recognition plaques available for purchase from the Kiwanis Family Store after the donation is made. An additional US$250 gift to the Tomorrow Fund elevates members to diamond status, which includes a special lapel pin.

Sapphire Circle Honorary Award

The Sapphire Circle Honorary Award recognizes individuals or organizations that exemplify CKI’s commitment to service and leadership. This prestigious honor is bestowed through a gift of US$1,000 or more to the Tomorrow Fund, celebrating exceptional contributions to the organization, the community, or humanity. The sapphire blue symbolizes unwavering character. Honorees receive a specially designed lapel pin, and an optional recognition plaque is available for purchase through the Kiwanis Family Store.
