Rose MacInnes and The Kingsway Kiwanis Foundation

Rose MacInnes and The Kingsway Kiwanis Foundation

  • Mrs. Rose Louise MacInnes was a friend of Arnold Angus, a charter and life member of our Club. In 1964 she passed away and left the residue of her estate to the Kiwanis Club of the Kingsway for their boys work.
  • In 1969 the Club set up a Charitable Foundation which would spend up to 90% of the annual income of the endowment of Mrs. MacInnes with a focus on young people.
  • Many members have served on The Foundation Committee most recently Dave Boyd, Syd Collier, Don Fleet, Sid Hasted, Fred Perfect, Keith Macdonald, Barnaby Ross and Don MacInnes.
  • Even after forty years of funding many worthy projects, Rose’s original gift has grown and will benefit young people for many years to come.
  • The Foundation welcomes donations and bequests to enhance Kingsway Humber Kiwanis’s work in the community.
