The Knights of Columbus empowers Catholic men to live their faith and serve their family, parish, community and country.

Are you missing opportunities to maximize your charitable giving? You’re invited to a free webinar with Knights of Columbus Charitable Fund (KCCF) titled “Give Smarter: A Catholic Approach to Generosity” on March 31 at 8 p.m. ET!

Join Dennis J. Gerber, Jr., president and CEO of KCCF, and Joshua Gideon, chief of strategy, as they walk you through tax-smart strategies and how to align your charitable giving with your faith.

You do not need to be a member of the Knights to have a KCCF account. Please share the registration link with anyone who may be interested in attending!

Please note that this webinar is not a Fraternal Benefit Event and cannot count as credit towards the Founder’s Award.

In the Pending Applications Listing folder of your Sharepoint / TEAMS channel is a file with online applicants for membership to your jurisdiction. These men submitted the Join Us | Knights of Columbus form, but did not hit the "Confirm Membership" link in the emails that were sent to them to finalize the join process. These men are just one step away from joining the Knights of Columbus!

We still need to hear from the applicant to confirm his membership – this is where your jurisdiction’s membership teams should step in. The Pending Applications Listing includes email addresses and phone numbers so you can contact these men and help them complete the join process. It also lists whether the pending applicant joined with an Agent Promo Code and/or whether he listed a preferred council number. Agents and councils should also be assisting in this follow up. This report will be updated weekly so you can follow up in a timely manner.

All that is required is for the applicant to send an email to emembership@kofc.org stating "I want to confirm my membership." Forwarded emails from applicants to emembership@kofc.org are also acceptable. 

Please be advised that Teams access has been provided to all approved roles in your jurisdiction – see complete list of roles here. Please note that important and valuable data & reports are updated and provided for Council Programs, Cor, Awards Progress, Circle of Honor, Online Membership, Council Health and much more.

If any member of your state team needs assistance with access, please contact:
