As a subordinate lodge, the Council makes charitable gifts from funds mainly provided by member dues and fundraising events. Fraternity is pursued through social events and members working together on Council activities. Unity is promoted by the requirement that all members must be practicing Catholics. Patriotism is a shared value of all members. See Schedule O for explanatory comments regarding "program services." 0 0 See Schedule O response to this Part III regarding program services. Our council sponsored and conducted a "shred day" allowing parishioners and others to bring sensitive documents and other recyclable paper to the parking lot of our parish for on-site shredding by an independent contractor. Revenue from the event consists of free-will offerings from participants. 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 7 7 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 X Robert L Scott 3035227185 9132 E Harvard Avenue Denver CO 80231 Robert M Graham Grand Knight 15 0 X 0 0 0 Joseph D Suhr Deputy Grand Knight 5 0 X 0 0 0 Robert L Scott Financial Secretary 10 0 X 0 0 0 Daniel M Haskell Treasurer 3 0 X 0 0 0 Gerald J Laber Trustee 1 0 X 0 0 0 John J Hilton Trustee 1 0 X 0 0 0 Paul H Griggs Trustee 1 0 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 0 2508 0 0 0 251674 0 254182 0 1074 1074 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 18909 0 8164 10745 10745 0 0 266001 1074 10745 0 36091 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 690 0 0 0 0 186 0 1206 0 125 Council social events and receptions 735 279 39312 0 0 0 6305 2100 25406 25798 0 0 276 96 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 230682 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 31987 258676 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 0 0 0 0 31987 258676 31987 258676 31987 258676 226689 0 0 0 0 0 X 0 0 0 RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Lenten Fish Fries 14088 0 14088 0 0 0 0 0 6254 0 0 14088 0 14088 0 0 0 0 0 6254 6254 7834 Schedule G, Part I, Line 3 Colorado 1 Risen Christ Catholic Parish 3060 S Monaco Parkway Denver CO 80222 840579057 501(c)(3) 30985 0 Parish Center repairs and improvements. 1 0 Schedule I, Part I, Line 2 See response to Line 1. Form 990, Part I, Line 6 Total Number of Volunteers - The Council has no paid employees, so effectively all its activities are performed by volunteers. For the most part, volunteers for Council events are Council members. The Council's roster presently reflects about 85 members, but it is estimated only about 40 of those members participate as volunteers for one or more Council events. For some events, non-member volunteers participate. The individual volunteers receive no compensation, but the Council normally makes a small donation to the organization or charity such volunteers represent. Total volunteers in this category are estimated as 20. Form 990, Part I, Line 8 Form 990-N was filed for the prior year because total revenues were less than $50,000. Since inception of the Council in 2003, total annual revenues had never exceeded $50,000 after the Council's fiscal year ended June 30, 2011. However, during the year ended June 30, 2026, the Council received a one-time distribution from the estate of a deceased Council member. The amount of the bequest was $250,000. The decedent's will placed no restrictions on the Council's use of such funds, but it is expected the primary future use of the funds will be for charitable gifts to other qualified charities. Prospectively, annual revenues are not expected to exceed $50,000. Form 990, Part III The Council does not conduct "program services" as defined in the instructions to Form 990. Its mission, as described in Part III, is accomplished through fund-raising activities as described on Schedule G and other fraternal activities that are not dependent on outside sources of revenues. Contributions received are generally from unsolicited sources, such as memorial gifts from families of deceased members and the one-time bequest received during fiscal 2026 and listed on Schedule B to this Form 990. Form 990, Part IV, Line 34 The Council is a subordinate "lodge" with respect to Knights of Columbus Supreme Council, 1 Columbus Plaza, New Haven, CT 06510 [EIN 60-0416470]. See also response to Part VI, Line 1a below. The Council is also affiliated with Knights of Columbus Colorado State Council, https://coloradokofc.org, email - co.kofc.exec@gmail.com [EIN 23-7004728]. The State Council is also classified as a 501(c)(8) fraternal organization. The State provides organizational guidance and oversight and guides local Councils throughout Colorado, ensuring they follow the policies and guidelines established by both the Colorado State Council and the Supreme Council. The Council pays assessments to both the Supreme and State Councils for the support services provided based on member count. Assessments paid for the year ended June 30, 2026 were $478 to Supreme and $728 to State. Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 1a The Council has no "governing body" in the traditional sense. The Council is a fraternal organization associated with the Catholic Church and a subordinate lodge of a national organization headquartered in New Haven, CT ("Supreme"). Supreme provides support to the affiliate lodges in the form of training, program guidance, and standard operating practices and procedures. The lodges pay Supreme semi-annual assessments for the services provided based on each council's membership count, but the councils are financially independent from Supreme. Most Council officers are elected annually by a vote of all members present at a duly announced "business meeting." Business meetings are open to all members. A quorum is satisfied if 8 or more members in good standing are present. A similar quorum is needed to approve expenditures over $500. Elected officers may serve any number of successive one-year terms, but must be ratified each year by vote at a regular business meeting. Day-to-day "governance" is the principal responsibility of the Grand Knight. He is most closely assisted by the Deputy Grand Knight and the Financial Secretary. The Financial Secretary is appointed by the Grand Knight, approved by the Supreme leadership team, and typically serves in that capacity for multiple years. Council oversight is also provided by three "trustees" who are typically former Grand Knights of the Council. Officers and trustees receive no compensation related to their Council duties and responsibilities from the Council or any other source. Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 6 The Council is made up of practicing Catholic men who may or may not be registered members of the associated Catholic parish. Most members are required to pay annual dues ($48), but clergy and "Honorary Life" members are exempt. Members may also transfer in or out, from or to other councils. Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 7a All members in good standing may vote for the election of officers. See response to Part VI, Section A, Line 1a above in this Schedule O. Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 7b The Council's bylaws are subject to approval by Supreme. Appointment of the Council's Financial Secretary is also subject to approval by Supreme. Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 8b The Council does not have standing committees. Volunteers for each event or activity are generally assembled on an ad hoc basis and there is no need for a written record. Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 9 The Council does not have its own place of business. Meetings and most Council-sponsored events take place in the parish center or on the parish grounds of Risen Christ Catholic Parish, 3060 S Monaco Parkway, Denver, CO 80222. Correspondence sent to that address and designated for the attention of any member should eventually reach the intended recipient. Otherwise, the address of the Financial Secretary, Robert L Scott, as indicated on page 1 of Form 990, is preferable. The addresses of the other officers and trustees listed in part VII follow: (1) Robert M Graham, Grand Knight, 21961 E Tansy Place, Aurora, CO 800116; (2) Joseph D Suhr, Deputy Grand Knight, 3895 S Niagara Way, Denver, CO 80237; (3) Daniel M Haskell, Treasurer, 3231 S Race Street, Englewood, CO 80113; (4) Gerald J Laber, Trustee, 2216 N Glencoe Street, Denver, CO 80207;,(5) John J Hilton, Trustee, 10195 Bluffmont Dr, Lone Tree, CO 80124; (6) Paul H Griggs, Trustee, 3048 S Grape Way, Denver, CO 80222. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b Form 990 was completed by the Financial Secretary. Before filing, a pdf copy of the return was emailed to the Grand Knight, Deputy Grand Knight, Treasurer, and each of the Council's three Trustees for their review and comments. After receiving approval from the reviewing members, the Form 990 was filed by the Financial Secretary. Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 18 See the response to Part VI, Section C., Line 19 immediately below. For each of the two years prior to the current filing, the Council was required to file only Form 990-N. Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19 As a Colorado nonprofit organization that solicits donations, the Council is required to register with the Colorado Secretary of State and submit an annual filing to renew that registration. The information provided in the annual renewal is less exhaustive than Form 990 (and more expansive than Form 990-N), but the financial information submitted is derived from and consistent with the Federal filings. The filings made are available for public inspection. Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 20 The books and financial records of the Council are in the possession of the Financial Secretary, Robert L Scott, 9132 E Harvard Avenue, Denver, CO 80231. His phone number is 303-522-7185. His email is rlscott15@msn.com. Form 990, Part VIII, Line 1f See response for Part I, Line 8. Principal source of this revenue is a one-time bequest of $250,000 received from the estate of a deceased Council member.
