    Why Knights of Columbus Councils Are Natural Partners

    KofC councils are built on charity, unity, and fraternity, values that align perfectly with the Swipe for Life mission. Your council's existing relationships with local Catholic businesses make you natural connectors.

    • Deep roots in local parishes and Catholic business communities
    • Shared commitment to protecting life from conception to natural death
    • Councils already run fundraising programs, this adds a passive revenue stream
    • Every referral strengthens your council's financial independence
    • Values alignment means every merchant you refer shares your mission
    • Zero cost to join, your council keeps 15% of every account, forever
