Knights of Columbus

Council #10872

 

Parish Staff Application for Financial Support – Instructions

 

The Knights of Columbus is a Catholic Men’s organization who’s first Principle is Charity.  In support of this, Council #10872 members perform various fund-raising activities throughout the year.  The Council provides project financial support within the Church, the community, the council, families, and youth.

 

Throughout the year, the Council receives numerous requests for financial support to meet needs in these areas.  However, funds availability is limited.  To facilitate the distribution of these funds and to help provide us with accountability, we ask that you complete the following form, and submit it to the Grand Knight.  The Grand Knight will bring it before the members of the Council for consideration and approval according to our constitution and by-laws.

 

Please allow as much time as possible between your request and the planned need for the funds.  Amounts less than $500 may be approved more rapidly.  Those exceeding $500 will be presented to a Charities Committee for review prior to introduction to the Council at the next business meeting.   Another monthly business meeting will be required before the request can be approved by vote and the monies disbursed.

 

The Council reserves the right to limit monies awarded and may require matching funds from the requesting organization.  Also, the Grand Knight or Council may place stipulations on how/where the funds are used.  For instance, if the Council (or a member) can purchase an item for less than the amount presented in the application, the Council may require that this purchase be done by/through the Council, rather than from the requestor’s source.

 

To request Council financial support, please complete the following form.  Have it approved and signed by the Parish priest. 

 

The completed form may be submitted either of two ways:

 

1.                  Present the completed form to the Grand Knight, or ask a member of Council #10872 to present it to him. 

 

2.         Mail the completed form to: 

Grand Knight

You will be advised of the Council’s decision as soon as possible following a meeting at which funding can be approved.
