2026 Kiwanis Grant Application

The Kiwanis Club of Texarkana Foundation is now accepting grant submissions. Grants are awarded from the proceeds of the 2026 Kiwanis Pancake Day Fundraiser. We invite organizations with projects that fit our mission to apply. Kiwanis Foundation Grants are awarded in amounts ranging from $500 to $2500.

Kiwanis is a global organization of volunteers dedicated
to improving the world one child and one community at a time. 

The application deadline is 11:59 P.M., May 1, 2026. Please be sure your application is submitted by this date, as late applications will not be accepted.

Grant requirements are included in the application, but it should be noted that grants cannot be used to: reduce existing debt, cover overhead or general operating expenses, go toward capital campaigns, or purchase buildings or real estate.

Grants will be reviewed and rated based on the project information provided. As a civic organization aimed at helping children and people with disabilities, projects that directly impact those groups will be weighted more heavily.

A report on grant spending will be due by November 30, 2026.

Any questions may be directed to .

Sincerely,

Destiny Carter
