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.

Here is kiwanis recruiting in action!!!!
Today I had a diagnostic procedure at an imaging center in Williamsburg. The very proficient and friendly technician noticed that I was wearing a Kiwanis polo which stated "MAKING A DIFFERENCE FOR CHILDREN". She immediately asked if I had anything to do with The Childrens Fishing Clinic. You know, the one where KIDS are taught about marine life, given a fishing pole and tackle , a tee shirt and fed breakfast and lunch. The one where they learn to bait a hook and experience catching fish. When I said yes she said that her children had never fished before and now they loved to fish and talk about marine life. She thanked us for engaging her children and sparking their interest in natural opportunities.
If ever I wondered whether or not we Kiwanians make a difference now I know. One CAN make a difference... You can make a difference.
Are you interested In making a difference? PM me and I will invite you to learn more about Kiwanis. For me, at least, " It's all about the KIDS" ... See MoreSee Less
