Grants Pass Kiwanis Club

“Serving the children of the world”

We are part of Kiwanis International, a global organization of volunteers serving children for over 100 years.

The Grants Pass Kiwanis Club is dedicated to serving the local community through various service and fundraising programs. We are an eclectic mix of ages, genders, occupations, backgrounds and interests who are passionate about making our community a better place for children so they can thrive. We are devoted to serving the children of Josephine County through unique and innovative service projects and fundraising initiatives.

In December 2022, our club celebrated it’s 75th Anniversary serving the Grants Pass and Josephine County community. 

We welcome you to drop in and join us!

Meetings

We meet at NOON every Tuesday at Elmer’s Restaurant
175 NE Agness Ave., Grants Pass, OR 97526

In 2014, the Grants Pass Kiwanis Club created the Biz for Kidz partnership.  This partnership allows individuals and local businesses to support numerous youth-based organizations, grants and scholarships.   100% of donated funds are distributed directly to those programs.  Since its inception, the Biz for Kidz partners have raised more than $310,000 for local youth.  The Grants Pass Kiwanis Club awards grants to non-profit organizations serving children in Josephine County such as the Julie Horowitz Reading is Fun; Peanut Butter for Kids; and Quilts for Kids Programs.   

We welcome you to come join us at one of our meetings or at a service project.
