Overview

Mission

Charity is at the heart of our work and our faith - and it always has been. For the Knights of Columbus charity means supporting a virtually boundless variety of projects.

What it reported doing in 2025

Donated to various not-for-profit organizations that assist families in need of food clothing and shelter. Gifted seminarians studying to be priests.

Operating model

Revenue model
Other-operating. 92% of the money available for current operations came from other operating revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and program spending has grown recently. A relatively small share of voting board members are independent and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
