Kiwanis International provides our members with resources that will help understand the goals of Kiwanis and ways to better understand the needs of the local population and ways to assist them. The welfare of the students and families of our local school district are our top priority. The Administrative Account of our Kiwanis Club collects dues from members, pays dues fees to Kiwanis International, receives donations from Club members thru "Happy Dollars", "In Memory" donations, and proceeds from 50/50 fundraisers, as well as paying for office supplies, Kiwanis conferences/convention costs, guest meals, and monies collected as used for our sponsored youth organizations, K-Kids. In the school district we serve, Fallsburg Central, approximately 69% of students are eligible for free breakfast and lunch. Our County (Sullivan) is next to last in NYS for healthy residents. We do what we can to make things better for these students and their families. A Kiwanis organization has two distinct bank accounts: An Administrative account as listed above, and a Service Account which raises funds to support programs such as "Bring Up Grades", "Terrific Kids", Scholarships for graduating seniors, children's winter outerwear, summer reading books, and other programs to benefit local children. Because of the poverty level in our area, it makes it difficult to raise funds from the local population. We formed a Foundation which affects only the Service Account. It was approved by the IRS in 2017 (#82-1516444). The Administrative Account (14-6035116) remained under a 501(C)(4) designation, as per the rules of Kiwanis International and the IRS. Therefore, all charitable dollars raised go into the Foundation (Service) Account. 0 0 0 Deborah Jacobsen Vice-President 5 0 0 0 Dawn Kaplan President 5 0 0 0 Diane Garritt Treasurer 5 0 0 0 Patrick Smith Board Member 3 0 0 0 Kenneth Kalter Board Member 2 0 0 0 Sue Kasofsky Ssecretary 5 0 0 0 Katherine Helms Board Member 3 0 0 0 Jill Weiner Board Member 2 0 0 0 Rosalind Natale Board Member 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Diane Garritt PO Box 722 Woodridge NY 12789 8458663204 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 8 Contributions, gifts, grants, and similar amounts received, plus membership dues, are the only revenue we had for fiscal year 10/01/23 thru 09/30/2024. We had -0- (zero) other revenue to report on Part I, Line 8. Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 10 No grants or similar amounts were paid from this account. Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 16 Form 990-EZ, Part 1, Line 16: Dues paid to Kiwanis International for the fiscal year 10/01/2023 thru 09/30/2024 of $2077.67, plus Service Leadership Club K-Kids expenses of $116.42 for a total of 2194.09. I did not realize this was late and I humbly apologize if it is. We are a very small organization, with not much revenue, and the time just got away from me. I hope an accommodation can be made for my error.
