The Founders Circle is a unique and special recognition that honors a group of donors (individual or husband and wife) who contribute one gift or a series of gifts totaling US$25,000 or more to Kiwanis International Foundation. Donors are awarded a porcelain eagle mounted on a personalized marble base and a Founders Circle pin specifying one of five recognition levels.
