Our Funding Policy provides an accountable, fair, and equitable process for both the organization requesting funds and the Kiwanis Club of New London allocating the funds. This process allows for accountability for all parties.
Funding Process
Applicants are invited to submit a written application for funding requests at any time on our website. The request is then emailed to the Board of Directors for review.
It is the responsibility of the Board of Directors to rank applications and grant funds. The Board will evaluate applications fairly utilizing a format designed to measure requests value to the community and group discussion
Once request is approved at the monthly board meeting it is the responsibility of the Treasurer to distribute funds. All grantees are invited to visit a club meeting and are required to report on project success. If funds are not used they are to be returned to the club.
