The New England District of Kiwanis is pleased to announce that it has joined TD Bank's Affinity Membership Program. This program provides the district with an opportunity to earn annual cash donations from TD Bank based upon how many members in the district participate in the program. It  is easy to participate in this program and there is no cost to the members to do so.

Here is how it works:

TD Bank will donate a percentage of the annual balance in every one of our members' accounts who participate in the program. No withdrawal is made from your account. TD Bank donates its own funds based upon your balance. Checking, savings, money market, CD's, and retirement accounts are all eligible. Business accounts qualify too!

Here is how you can participate:

-If you already have an account with TD Bank, visit or call your local branch and tell a Customer Service Representative that you would like your account(s) linked to the New England Kiwanis affinity program. The affinity code for the New England District is A1137.

-If you do not have an account with TD Bank, visit any TD Bank location and open an account. Let the TD Bank representative know that you want you account linked to the New England Kiwanis affinity program. The affinity code for the New England District is A1137.
