The Sisters of Life use Knights of Columbus Charitable Fund to accept and manage donations, including non-cash assets like stocks, so they can focus on the work they are called to do. 

Dennis Gerber, President of Knights of Columbus Charitable Fund, shares the impact  Knights of Columbus Charitable Fund has within his own family.

You’re not giving to charity for the tax benefits – you’re giving because you want to make an impact on the causes and communities that matter most to you. That does not mean tax advantages do not matter.

As Catholics, we are called to be good stewards, protect human life, and promote human dignity. At Knights of Columbus Charitable Fund, we take this calling very seriously.  This is why we seek to ensure that your investment allocation and your grant recommendations don’t conflict with our Catholic faith.

Through KCCF, you have the opportunity to make contributions of non-cash assets.  Often referred to as illiquid or complex assets, non-cash assets can range from tangible property like real estate to publicly traded securities.

From the very beginning of the Church generosity has been a main pillar of our faith.  In fact, St. Paul the Apostle said it best, “Each must do as already determined without sadness or compulsion for God loves a cheerful giver” (2 Corinthians 9:7).  Creating us in his image and likeness God made us to be generous beings.
