Downtown Madison Kiwanis
The Kiwanis Club of Downtown Madison is a service club of around 50 men and women. It was founded in 1917 as one of the first Kiwanis Clubs in the State of Wisconsin and is one of approximately 8,000 Kiwanis Clubs worldwide.
OUR MISSION
Our mission is to provide service to the children and youth of Madison and fellowship for our members. We raise money to support over 40 community organizations that share our mission through our Foundation, and our members participate in many direct service projects. Weekly luncheon meetings provide fellowship and information about the state of our community.
