About KIWANIS FOUNDATION OF HOUSTON

The Kiwanis Foundation of Houston is a 501(c)(3) grantmaking foundation formed in 1966 to provide the Kiwanis Club of Houston a vehicle for charitable activity. It maintains an invested corpus and awards grants to local nonprofits focused on children and community services. The organization is governed by a board drawn from the Kiwanis Club of Houston and operates with regular public tax filings; recent Form 990 filings (fiscal years through September 2025) show continued grantmaking activity, investment income, and an increase in net assets. Grant applications are solicited on an annual cycle (application materials and deadlines are published by the Kiwanis Club of Houston).
