What is the organization's primary exempt purpose? Thanks to the efforts of Father Michal J. McGivney, assistant pastor of St. Mary's Church in New Haven and some of his parishioners, the Connecticut State Legislature on March 29, 1882, officially charter the Knights of Columbus as a fraternal benefit society. The order is still true to its founding principles of charity, unity and fraternity. The Knights of Columbus was former to render financial aid to member and their families. Mutual aid and assistance are offered to the sick, disabled and needy members and their families. Social and intellectual fellowship is promoted among the members and their families through educational, charitable, social welfare, war relief and public relief works. The KofC have become the world's foremost Catholic fraternal benefit society. The order has helped families obtain economic security and stability.
Describe the organization’s program service accomplishments for each of its three largest program services, as measured by expenses. In a clear and concise manner, describe the services provided, the number of persons benefited, and other relevant information for each program title.
28 Youth Development Programs, General/Other: Family and Youth Activities-Catholic values are rooted in the strong bonds of family life. The Knights of Columbus supports these values through family and youth activities. Substance Abuse-Knights of Columbus members regularly participate in and sponsor programsaimed at combating substance abuse. Councils work with police, youth groups and other organizations to conduct educational programs on the dangers of drug and alcohol abuse. The Knights sponsor poster contests for youth on substance abuse. The Order's youth group, the Columbian Squires, participate in programs that publicize the dangers of drunk driving. The council provided over 2500 hours of volunteer service supporting youth groups.

29 Wellness Programs: Culture of Life-The protection of Human Life. The Knights of Columbus is unambiguously and proudly pro-life. In accordance with the teachings of the Catholic Church, the order defends human life from the moment of conception until natural death. Building a new Culture of Life where every human life is welcomed, respected and protected by law is one of the highest priorities of the order. Community of Involvement-The history of the Knights of Columbus' involvement in community life is a record of outstanding benevolent achievement. Knights volunteer in a variety of charitable enterprises to serve the people and programs of their communities, families, young people and brother Knights. Much of the success of the Orders volunteer record can be attributed to the fact that the Supreme Council does not mandate participation in any volunteer initiative. Fraternal and charitable programs arise at the grassroots level to meet the local needs. As the Order has grown, its benevolence has increased. The Order continues to break all of its previous records for charitable contributions and volunteer service. The results of the orders annual Survey of Fraternal Activity for the year ending 2010 show that total contributions to charity at all levels reached nearly $155,00,000. In the past decade, Knights have raised and donated nearly $1.25 billion to numerous charitable causes and volunteered nearly 400 million hours of service. The Council provided more than 4,600 volunteer hours in supporting community projects.

Annually, the Order raises and distributes more than 45 million to Church groups in support of programs at the local, national and international levels. Local .
