Clubs may invest their funds in the investment pool of the Foundation as a Club Advised Fund or subfund. This allows the Club Advised Fund to receive tax deductible donations under the 501(c)(3) IRS provisions of the Foundation. The Foundation also handles financial reporting to the club, the State of Ohio and the IRS.
The minimum amount required to establish a Club Advised Fund is $5,000. The club pays 1% annually for the administration of the fund under $100,000 and .75% for a fund over $100,000. The club also pays investment manager’s fees. The club may distribute funds for their projects at any time upon approval of the Foundation Board. Distributions are made to qualified charitable tax exempt organizations.
Contact the Executive Director or Treasurer for more details about establishing a Club Advised Fund for your Kiwanis Club. They are available to meet with your club and board members to answer all questions that you may have.
