Charitable Donations
Council 8600 sponsors multiple events each year that raise funds for charity. We donate over $48,000 every year to organizations and charities that align with Catholic teachings and beliefs and support our community
You may now make a charitable contribution directly to the Knights of Columbus Council #8600 by donating to the Council’s Charitable Fund. This is a Doner-Advised Fund administered by Knights of Columbus Charitable Fund that allows donors to make an irrevocable charitable contribution, potentially receive an immediate tax deduction. Council #8600 then recommends grants from our Council Charitable fund to charities.
Donate to St Mary of Sorrows Council #8600 Charitable Fund with credit card or online check
You may also donate appreciated asses such as stocks or bonds. This method can avoid paying capital gains taxes so all of your asset’s value goes to the Charitable Fund.
Donate by check, wire or securities must complete the Donation Agreement available here.
