1882 Society

Monthly gifts make a year-round, transformative difference.

Why Monthly Giving?

When you give consistently, you help sustain the work of Knights of Columbus Charities in a crucial way.

It lets us do long-term planning and discern how we can make the greatest impact in the areas of greatest need. And it puts you in partnership with local Knights whose boots on the ground bring hope and healing to so many.

The 1882 Society is our circle of monthly donors committed to this charitable mission — the same mission that compelled Blessed Michael McGivney to found the Knights in 1882.

A Thank You From the Supreme Knight

“When we practice charity as a virtue, we’re doing more than meeting material needs. We’re making the love of Jesus present in homes, families and communities in areas of the world that are desperate for it.” – Supreme Knight Patrick Kelly
