The Kiwanis Club of Marietta has established a Grant Program for the purpose of funding youth development projects within our community that are in line with the Kiwanis mission addressing the needs and development of children in our community. Funding priority will be given to those projects involving the advancement and welfare of children in the City of Marietta and Cobb County. In 2008, the Kiwanis Board of Directors under the leadership of Past President, John Moeller, established the Grant with a $20,000 endowment.
