HENRY C. HEINZ ENDOWMENT PROGRAM
The Henry C. Heinz Endowment was created in 2002 to honor those Georgia Kiwanians who have exhibited outstanding dedication and commitment to Kiwanis. A donation of $1,000 is made to the Georgia District Foundation and the interest is used to service the youth of Georgia in the form of scholarships and other financial support.
WHO IS ELIGIBLE FOR A HENRY C. HEINZ AWARD?
Any Georgia Kiwanian who has demonstrated the spirit of service to Kiwanis as exemplified by Henry C. Heinz may be honored by this award. The donation may come from an individual, a Kiwanis Club, a Division, or any other group of Kiwanians.
WHO WAS HENRY C. HEINZ?
Henry C. Heinz was a vice president and director of C&S Bank in Atlanta. He was a founder and later president of the Atlanta Boys’ Club. He was also the son-in-law of Coca-Cola founder Asa Griggs Candler.
In addition, Henry C. Heinz was one of the first Kiwanians in Georgia, and the first Georgian to serve as President of Kiwanis International, in 1927-1928. Prior to serving as President, he had served three years as Treasurer of Kiwanis International, and also served as an International Vice President.
Appropriately, the first Key Club was formed during Henry C. Heinz’s year as International President in Sacramento, California. Further strengthening Kiwanis’ support of your work was the publicity given to this Key Club, thus laying the groundwork for many additional clubs to be formed in the future.
The Kiwanis International Foundation was incorporated on February 10, 1939. In 1941, Henry C. Heinz was elected Foundation President and served until his death in 1943.
