The Kiwanis Club of Greater Hilton sponsors and funds several children’s charities in Newport News and the surrounding area. To provide flexibility in funding such programs, the members of our club created the Kiwanis Club of Greater Hilton Foundation as the Club’s tax-exempt charitable arm. The Foundation is duly incorporated as a non-profit corporation in the Commonwealth of Virginia and meets the tax-exempt requirements of Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. As a tax-exempt organization, the Foundation pays no income taxes and is eligible to receive “tax-deductible” contributions.
Foundation Projects
The Foundation recognizes the challenges and promises of the youth in our city and has made its mission to stand with those young people by providing means and support for their well- being, health, and education. Our Foundation has contributed locally in the following ways:
Provided scholarships to local children to attend local summer camp.
Installed a teacher’s lounge at Carver Elementary School.
Supported Carver Elementary School’s efforts to reduce chronic absenteeism by providing a monthly $50 gift card to use as attendance incentives for students. Chronic absenteeism dropped from 31% in the 23-24 school year to 19% in the 24-25 school year!
Offered financial support to the following local organizations:
The Boys and Girls Club
The Shoe Lady (an organization that provides shoes to needy children)
The Young Adult Police Commissioners
