In 1940, one year after the Kiwanis International Foundation was established as a legal entity, Walter Zeller,
(top right) made the first donation:  25 Canadian silver dollars that he hoped would turn into the foundation's nest egg.  His dream came true.  Auctioned for US$625, his coins launched the Kiwanis International Foundation's worldwide service efforts.  Thousands of donors later, the foundation has grown into a multi-million dollar organization that awards grants to Kiwanis clubs and underwrites life altering worldwide service projects.
On behalf of the Eliminate Project, the Foundation is proud to honor Walter Zeller's commitment to service by creating the Walter Zeller Fellowship.  This is a very special opportunity designed exclusively for The Eliminate Project.  You can become a Walter Zeller Fellow by making a one time gift or two-year consecutive pledge of US$1,250 to The Eliminate Project.  All Walter Zeller Fellows will receive a special medallion, lapel pin and certificate.
