Life Members – Kiwanians who achieve life member status pay $780 one time (15 times annual International Dues) and are then not charged International Dues from then on. Please note, this only applies to the member’s primary Kiwanis Club. If a life member joins a second Kiwanis Club, they will be charged full dues for that second club. Learn more here.
Family Members – This program has been discontinued. However, Kiwanians who became Family Members during the trial period are “grandfathered in” and continue to receive the discount. Family Membership designates one primarily member in the household who pays full dues. Other household members may be designated as Family Members. They are charged 1/2 International Dues, 1/2 District Dues, full insurance fees, and no magazine fee.
SLP Alumni – alumni of Key Club, Circle K, and other SLPs may join Kiwanis at a discounted rate. Their first two years in Kiwanis, both Kiwanis International and the District waive their dues, but not magazine or insurance. Total dues and fees for those two years are $25 (magazine + insurance), plus your club dues if you don’t also waive them.
New Member Prorated Dues
Beginning October 2021, Kiwanis International no longer charges the “new member add fee.” Instead, a new member will be charged prorated dues and fees based on the month they join the Kiwanis Club. On each subsequent October 1, all members will then be assessed the annual dues and fees amount ($102.)

Tips to Lower your Club Dues
If your Kiwanis Club is looking for a way to limit the amount it charges members for dues, here are some things to consider:
Insurance Fees ($17 per member) can be paid using your club’s service account. Kiwanis Insurance covers your Kiwanis Club when engaging in community service activities, and can therefore be paid using service funds as an overhead cost of your club’s service initiatives.
Kiwanis Magazine ($8 per member) can be paid using the club’s administrative account. If you wish to offer certain members (i.e., new members, younger members, SLP alumni, etc.) a lower dues rate, consider subsidizing their magazine cost.
If your club has a healthy administrative account, consider creating programs for Kiwanis members to pay dues monthly or quarterly. This will require your club to cover the entire cost to Kiwanis International upfront.
The club can use payment applications such as PayPal, Venmo or Square to provide the option to members to use a credit card and pay their dues off slowly.
