Signature projects show the impact a Kiwanis
club can have on a community. From playgrounds and parks to festivals and
fundraisers, signature projects are the hallmarks of what Kiwanis clubs are
known for in their communities.
Signature projects
provide valuable and needed service to a community. They elevate awareness of
Kiwanis, engage current members and remind them why they joined Kiwanis.
Additionally, signature projects can increase membership. Don’t forget to
invite and involve potential new members in your club’s next signature project.
Kiwanis International will host the Fourth
Annual Signature Project Recognition Program for districts in 2020. New to this
year’s contest is the establishment of two contest tiers.
Clubs with 28 members or more will be judged in the Tier I
category; and
Clubs with 27 members or less will be judged in Tier II
category.
While the district will determine how to select
its club-level Tier I and Tier II submissions, all projects should follow the
criteria listed below. A signature project is
one that includes ALL of the
following criteria:
Recurring: At a minimum, the project should take place annually.
Brand enhancing: The project should be designed to elevate the Kiwanis brand in the local community with opportunities for public relations activities, such as using the Kiwanis name on the project, media mentions, etc.
High impact: The project should have a demonstrable positive impact on the community; this impact should be measurable in monies raised or children served.
Membership focused: The project should support opportunities to strengthen membership and develop new partnerships.
TIP: A good question to ask when identifying a
signature project: “What community activity or event is my club known for?”
An online contest submission form will now will be available
for clubs to use when submitting their projects. Each club’s entry will be sent
directly to KI. Staff at KI will send district submissions to the designated
district contact for district leadership to select their Tier I and Tier II submissions
to the 2020 Signature Project Contest.
While the district determines how to select its club-level Tier I and Tier II submissions, the project should follow the criteria listed above. Once a district has selected its representative club-level signature projects, a district designate can complete the online submission form.
We often talk about and highlight great volunteer organizations here in Hampton Roads and today we want to shine the light on our local Kiwanis Clubs. These clubs in all of our seven cities have be…
