Request for Services

The Kiwanis Youth Service Committee begins a new fiscal year on October 1 of each year. The Youth Service Committee is sending out this letter to let groups, schools, businesses, agencies, and organizations know that we will be soliciting funding and/or service requests (via application) for youth related service activities in the Benton County area.Our allocated funds come from the fund-raising activities of the Kiwanis Club of Corvallis. Although our funding budget has decreased significantly from last year, our committee still would like to help youth-related organizations with financial and service needs to strengthen our community.

Funding requests must be submitted on a formal Youth Services funding application form. This form can be found in the links at the top of this screen. Funding requests will be evaluated by the YSC monthly. We meet on the second Tuesday of the month, 7:00-8:00 a.m. at Elmer's Restaurant to conduct business and evaluate requests. Therefore, we ask that funding requests be received by the YSC no later than the last day of the month, to be considered at the next meeting.

Some critical information should be included on the funding application:

• The project or program must serve Benton County youth only;
• How many youth will be impacted by the funding;
• Did you request funds the previous year and how much;
• Funds should not be used for administrative uses (staff positions or wages);
• Request a reasonable dollar amount (requests can be fully funded, partially funded, ‘tabled’ for later consideration, or not funded by the YSC).

If you submit a funding request, you have an option of attending a Youth Service Committee meeting and making an oral presentation to the committee along with the written application. We would also appreciate and entertain a post visit, a card or a message of "feedback" after your program or project (if funded) is completed. The Youth Services Committee also funds a separate Student Recognition Program for CHS and CVHS students to recognize "Student of the Quarter." "Most Improved Student," and "Student of the Year" with scholarship money, a luncheon and a certificate. Counselors at the two high schools should have more information on this program. The Youth Services Committee also advises, funds, and mentors the OSU Circle K Club and the CHS Key Club. These are two Kiwanis sponsored organizations. The Youth Services Committee also is available to do youth-related volunteer work and service in the community. We will help in any way possible on projects and programs. Many members of our committee are willing to roll up their sleeves and take the time to help out. The youth of our community is our most valuable resource and Kiwanis is ready and available to take an active role their development. Good luck, as you continue to do good things for the youth of Benton County. Please let us know if we are able to help you along the way.
