Charity is at the heart of our work and our faith. The Indiana Knights of Columbus exist to support parishes, pastors and communities and to help people in urgent need situations through disaster relief, coats for kids, food for families, ultrasound machines, and similar needs.
Ultrasound support is the clearest recent marker of how the Knights of Columbus Indiana State Council gives: the largest grant on file was $489,000 in 2025 for Ultrasound Donations, followed by $307,791 in 2023 for the same purpose. That pattern sits alongside a broader mix of parish- and community-centered giving tied to Catholic social teaching, including disaster relief, food assistance, coats for kids, vocations, youth programs, veterans affairs, Special Olympics, and parish support. The council’s recent grants show both large program commitments and repeated support for Indiana organizations. Gibault Inc. in Terre Haute received $152,313 in 2023, $151,295 in 2024, and $142,321 in 2025. Special Olympics of Indiana in Indianapolis also appears multiple times, with grants of $170,029 in 2025, $59,318 in 2024, and $19,885 in 2023. That combination of large direct program funding and recurring support for named institutions helps define the funder’s approach.
Medical and disability-related support is a visible thread in the grants list. The council gave $489,000 in 2025 for Ultrasound Donations and $307,791 in 2023 for the same purpose, pointing to a sustained commitment to that program area. Youth and sports-related inclusion also appears in the recent awards. Special Olympics of Indiana in Indianapolis received $170,029 in 2025, $59,318 in 2024, and $19,885 in 2023. Education-related support shows up through Gibault Inc. in Terre Haute, which received $152,313 in 2023, $151,295 in 2024, and $142,321 in 2025. Smaller program entries such as Other Program Donations and Distributions to Other Org indicate additional support beyond named grantees.
Typical grant sizes cluster in the six-figure range, with a p25 of $34,146, a median of $142,321, and a p75 of $177,927. The recent record also includes several larger outliers above that band, including a $489,000 grant and a $307,791 grant. The pattern is not a one-off snapshot: the same organizations and program categories appear across 2023, 2024, and 2025, which suggests recurring support rather than isolated awards. The council is a membership-driven Catholic body, and its active grant program, Indiana State Council Knights of Columbus Charity Fund, Inc., is a 501(c)(3) established in 1998. It does not accept unsolicited requests.
