Dues

Amount:

Per member dues are a minimum of $15.00. This $15 is divided between International dues ($10.00) and District dues ($5.00). Both International and District dues are submitted to Key Club International.

​

Clubs may also assess dues and fees to its members. Such dues and fees are determined by each Club. The Club-level dues charged cannot exceed the amount of International dues, but there are no limits on fees. Fees can help to cover costs of field trips, club shirts, etc.

Payment

The payment of dues is a three-step process:

  1. Add your new members to the roster in Kiwanis Engage, formerly the Membership Update Center or MUC. It is recommended to use personal emails for students since the school addresses often block emails from senders outside of their organization. Using the personal email also ensures students' membership goes with them after graduation.

  2. Generate Invoice and send it to your bookstore/accounting/etc

  3. Follow-up with your bookstore or accounts payable department until you see the payment was shipped to KCI

  4. Additional members may be added to the roster after the initial payment, just remember to make the additional dues payment to KCI!  Just repeat steps 1-3.

Important Dates:

​​November 1st for Early Bird Patch:

Clubs wishing to receive the Early Bird Patch and recognition must roster and submit dues for a minimum of 15 members, and the dues payment must be received by Key Club International no later than November 1st. This is suggested to do as soon as it opens in September, add your officers and a few members to get your club in the system and earn the patch. 

​

December 1st:

Dues are due to Key Club International on December 1st!  

​

February 1st:

If NO dues for your club have been submitted by February 1st, the club will have their charter suspended until the dues are paid. Suspension means:

  • Club members cannot attend District or International conventions,

  • Club members cannot apply for Key Club-only scholarships or report membership in resumes, and

  • Club members cannot run for District or International office.

Suspension will be lifted upon payment of dues.

Resources:

Kiwanis Engage:

The platform for entering all of your members names to Key Club International & Southwest District is Kiwanis Engage (click here). The International/District dues are all paid at one time, KCI does the rest to separate the district dues.

This year, it has a new look & new name, Kiwanis Engage. It can be access by Club Key Club Advisors, Secretaries & Treasurers (as well as Presidents, if they request access). You must be listed as one of these position to have access. So new Advisors and officers will need to be added before they can access. Returning Advisors can add their new Sec, Treas, and Pres.

Additionally, access is accomplished with the email on file, so if no email address is on file, it will need to be added before and Advisor/officer can log-in.

REMEMBER, your school address may block emails from KCI, so it is best to use a personal email. Using your personal email also ensures your membership goes with you after you graduate.
