Donate
Please donate and support Marquette Council's charitable activities.
We appreciate your generosity and support.
From the moment of our founding in 1882, charity has been the first principle of the Knights of Columbus.
During the past decade, the Knights of Columbus has donated more than $1.367 billion to charity.
Last year alone, in addition to raising and donating more than $151 million to charitable needs and projects, Knights of Columbus volunteered more than 69 million hours of their time to charitable causes.
We undertake these acts of charity because we see those in need through the eyes of faith.
Moreover, in the Knights of Columbus, we approach these acts of charity together. Pope Benedict XVI calls this the “practice of love...as a community.”
Our charitable activities encompass an almost infinite variety of local, national and international projects.

Catholic Charities

For over 30 years, the Seminarian Fund has been Marquette's way of saying "thank you" to Catholic men who aspire to serve the Church. We hope that you will help us continue this wonderful Marquette tradition of assisting young men on their journey to the priesthood. Solidarity and support of religious vocations is a knightly trait and a blessing of the Catholic Church.
In support of the Keep Christ in Christmas Campaign, Marquette purchases a billboard every year reminding everyone Jesus is the reason for the season. Help defray this cost by donating to our Keep Christ in Christmas Fund.
Your donations help us to reverse the trend toward a culture of death. All of us have a duty to defend life at all stages and build a culture of life.

Marquette sponsors several booths and activities for the annual Special Olympic games, and your support allows us to continue to this magnificent event.
Marquette Council does a great deal to assist people with intellectual disabilities and to improve their quality of life. One of the most popular and successful programs conducted by Marquette Council for the benefit of people with intellectual disabilities is the "can shake" fund-raiser in which we collect donations outside various retail stores.
