Illinois State Council KofC Charities, Inc.

Illinois State Council KofC Charities, Inc. raises funds to support Newman Campus Ministry, programs that aide those with Intellectual Disabilities, Seminarian and vocations programs, Right to Life centers and activities, and to provide charitable assistance in time of disaster.

There is no official bill to councils for each charity fund.  While the goals for each council are voluntary, the funds go to support local and statewide charity initiatives.  We track the goals and progress for each council on the Charity Report that that can be found at the bottom of this page.  The Charity Report is updated monthly.

To submit donations to any of these charity funds, make a check out to Illinois State Council KofC Charities, Inc., write the name of the associated charity on the memo line and mail the check to the Illinois State Council Finance Office at PO Box 309, Palos Heights, IL 60463.  Donations can also be made online using the donation links on each charity's page.

According to the By-laws of Illinois State Knights of Columbus Charities, Inc. the Charity Year runs from July 1 - June 30.
