Providing Help, Creating Hope
Since 1969, the Saskatchewan Knights of Columbus Charitable Foundation has dedicated itself to creating, administering and advocating for programs and services that help families in need. Through our many programs, we have focused on assistance for families to overcome obstacles in their lives that threaten their self-sufficiency. Last year, we provided services to many families in Saskatchewan, and touched the lives of countless others through our advocacy and convening efforts.
The Sask K of C Charitable Foundation has developed a Cash Calendar Fundraiser with only 5000 calendars being printed. The 2025 Calendar will feature pictures with text from twelve of the recipients of donations made from the Foundation.
The cash calendar will have 64 draws throughout the year with a total payout of $25,000.00 in cash prizes. These calendars will be sold by all Sask Knight of Columbus Councils in the province for $40.00 per calendar.
Please contact the K of C Council in your community to purchase your calendar and participate in this exciting project.
You can view the entire calendar by clicking this link.
SASK K of C CHARITABLE FOUNDATION CALENDAR SALES INCENTIVE PROGRAM
Objective: Provide an incentive for Councils to set higher targets for calendar sales.
Offer an opportunity for each Council to present their Chaplain with a Sask K of C
Charitable Foundation jacket.
Incentive: Each Council Chaplain will be presented with a Sask K of C Charitable Foundation fall jacket if the Council meets their sales incentive target.
The jacket will have the logo of the Sask K of C Charitable Foundation on the lapel and the name of the Council on the sleeve.
Only Chaplains will be eligible to receive a jacket.
Sales Incentive Qualifications: Qualification targets will be based on the membership of the Council:
- 0 – 50 members – 40 calendars
- 50 – 100 members – 60 calendars
- Over 100 members – 80 calendars
Council Incentive Numbers: Each Council incentive number is shown in this file.
Sales Approaches for Councils to Consider:
- Partner with your Parish to sell calendars after mass on multiple Sundays.
- Encourage members and parishioners to consider the cash calendars as gifts particularly prior to the Christmas season.
- Consider a mailout to all members of the Council encouraging inactive members to become involved in this fundraising initiative.
- Establish a purpose for the funds in your Council or Parish. A drive with a purpose for the funds is generally much more successful.
Benefits to Implement Calendar Sales in your Council:
- This provides a revenue source for the Council.
- The calendar illustrates twelve recipients of funding by the K of C Charitable Foundation. This is a unique opportunity for us to increase awareness of how we exemplify the lesson of Charity within Saskatchewan.
- The jackets will improve the branding and awareness of the Sask K of C Charitable Foundation within our clergy and our parish.
- This is our first year at selling and having success will enable similar purchasers each year in the future.
- Providing the incentive for the Council Chaplain is unique and should have positive response from the membership and Catholic community.
