Member Dues

As a 501(c)4 non-profit, member dues help CKI lead and serve in communities throughout the world. These dues also provide support for the numerous member benefits CKI offers, including networking, leadership opportunities, scholarships, and more.

All CKI clubs are expected to pay annual dues to the International and District between October 1 and December 1 each year. Dues are paid by club officers or advisors through Kiwanis Engage. (If you need a tutorial or reminder for Kiwanis Engage, go to our learning resources webpage.)

International Dues Structure.

Below are the International dues for the 2025-26 administrative year, which runs from October 1 through September 30. These dues vary by country and are based on the per capita income of the country where the CKI club is located. Member dues are determined by CKI student-leaders and voted on at CKI’s annual convention. Additional detail about CKI dues and tiers are available in the CKI bylaws.

International Dues:
Clubs in Tier 1 nations – US$36 per member.
Clubs in Tier 2 nations – US$12 per member.
