Major Emphasis Grant Application (up to $50,000 over 3 years)
Thank you to those who submitted applications; the application process for Major Emphasis has closed. Please see below for our annual grant application.
2025 Grant – Emergency Food Insecurity – Application
Due to cuts in many government programs and the shortfalls expected this Summer with feeding kids in need, the board has allocated $20,000 in emergency grant money to help support organizations that feed kids. Funding requests MUST address food insecurity for children 18 and under within the greater Manchester area. Applicants must not have received funding from Kiwanis for the same program within the past 12 months; organizations may apply for funding for a DIFFERENT program within their organization. If this is the case, organizations should explain how this request is different from the request that was funded within the past year.
Our 2025 Community Grant period is now closed; a list of our past grant recipients can be found here.

Last Wednesday we had the honor of hosting local inventor and innovator Dean Kamen. He shared stories and insights that had the entire room fully engaged. With about 30 people at the meeting, he easily could have gone on for hours. It was a remarkable experience.
We were also grateful to have Shana Hawrylchak, Executive Director of the SEE Science Center, join us. SEE has been one of our strongest community partners for years, and Shana’s leadership plays a huge role in bringing hands-on science and technology learning to kids here in Manchester.
Supporting organizations like SEE is one of the many ways Kiwanis strengthens our community and invests in the next generation. Dean, Shana, and everyone working to inspire young minds, thank you from all of us at Manchester Kiwanis. #1child1communityatatime #KidsNeedKiwanis #getactive #bekind... See MoreSee Less
 Last week McDonough Elementary reached out. One of their fourth grade classes needed basic health and hygiene supplies to teach their students. I brought the request to our Kiwanis group and within a few days, right before Thanksgiving, our members stepped up and filled the entire list.
We delivered everything today. It’s just one of the many things we’re honored to do for the kids of Manchester and for the organizations that support them. We’re grateful for every chance to help.
