Tax Deductible Donations
St. Mary’s Knights of
Columbus can now accept tax deductible donations, including electronic check, paper
check, credit card, equities, and real estate. Donated assets will go into an
account managed by the Knights of Columbus Charitable Fund (KCCF) ( Change Lives Through Generosity )
which will invest the money in a manner consistent with Catholic teaching. Our council can then make recommendations to
KCCF for distributions from the funds to local recipients as approved by KCCF. All funds going into the account will be
distributed to causes approved by St Mary’s Knights of Columbus. This process ensure that tax deductible
contributions meet all federal tax guidelines.
If you would like to make
an electronic donation, please follow the link below.
Please note that
electronic checks require a 0.75% processing fee. Credit card donations require
a 2.75% processing fee.
If you would like to make
a donation via paper check (no processing fee), or make non-cash donation, such
as a security or real estate, please contact the John Flaherty at Knights@stmarysjc.org for current forms
or additional information.
