Service, Philanthropy, & Fellowship

The Kiwanis Club of Charlotte is a membership-based service organization dedicated to improving the Charlotte, North Carolina community. Partnering with local nonprofits and businesses, we use our club's resources to:
  • improve quality of life through hands-on service projects
  • make a broader impact on pressing community problems through philanthropic initiatives
  • stay informed about issues affecting our community through bi-weekly forums with community leaders.
Our club focuses on community initiatives and children-centered projects, striving to uplift local children by fostering growth and empowerment for a brighter future. 

From literacy efforts - including book donations and in-school reading days - to delivering gifts and groceries directly to families, we are proud to lend a hand!
We are passionate about raising funds and donations to aid local children and families, while also offering support for higher education through annual scholarships.

With tens of thousands of dollars raised each year, we have funded dozens of students to attend camps, leadership retreats, regional conferences & more! 
Our club gathers regularly, fostering a tight-knit community while making a positive impact through our shared dedication to service and building lasting friendships.

Our lunch meetings regularly feature informative speakers & programs. We also love to plan dinner and weekend events throughout the year!
