Updates and New Information
New 501(c)(3) just announced: Louisiana Knights of Columbus Charities, Inc.
Louisiana Knights of Columbus Charities, Inc. is the Louisiana State Council's 501(c)(3) corporation. When individuals or businesses wish to donate to the Louisiana State Council for disaster relief or other charitable causes, which funds will be distributed to individuals or groups in need, individuals or businesses can now donate directly to Louisiana Knights of Columbus Charities, Inc.
Unlike donating to the Louisiana State Council, donations to our 501(c)(3) corporation may provide donors with a tax deduction. Donors should consult with their tax advisor for advice and allowable deductions. Councils should continue to directly donate to the Louisiana State Council.
