From a small group of Catholic men operating an insurance program on an assessment system, the Knights of Columbus has grown into a "triple-A" insurance society doing business in the 50 states of the United States, the District of Columbia, the 10 provinces of Canada, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and Guam. The corporate charter of the Knights of Columbus, granted by the Connecticut General Assembly on March 29, 1882, provides that: "The purposes for which said corporation is formed are the following: (a) of rendering pecuniary aid to its members, their families and beneficiaries of members and their families; (b) of rendering mutual aid and assistance to its sick, disabled and needy members and their families; (c) of promoting social and intellectual intercourse among its members and their families; and (d) of promoting and conducting educational, charitable, religious, social welfare, war relief and welfare, and public relief work." The Knights of Columbus meets the goals of this charter by sponsoring council activities, by providing assistance to the Catholic Church, by doing charitable work in the communities where we exist, and by offering high-quality, individual life insurance to its members and families. Father Michael J. McGivney - our founder - recognized and believed that the people of his day needed the protection that a life insurance program would bring. He wanted to guarantee that the Catholic widow and children of his time would be able to sustain the loss of their breadwinner, and continue with a life not afflicted with poverty and despair. Today, 119 years later, the Knights of Columbus goal remains the same: protection of the Catholic families that choose membership in our Order. (Reprinted from the Supreme Council on August 3, 2002:) Knights Of Columbus Insurance In Force Tops $44 BillionSales record follows March announcements of top ratings from Standard & Poor's and the A. M. Best Co.-------------------------------------------------------------------- New Haven, CT - The Knights of Columbus announced June 4 that it had a record $44 billion of life insurance in force. The exact figure is $44,036,194,058. The Catholic fraternal benefit society offers insurance and annuities to its members and their families. At the end of January, the Knights surpassed the $43 billion mark. Noting that the new record marks another four-month period in which $1 billion of insurance was sold, Supreme Knight Carl A. Anderson stated, "This new achievement in insurance sales and service demonstrates that our members continue to feel that the best way to protect their families is through our top-rated insurance program." Looking to the future, Anderson added, "Providing financial security through life insurance has been part of our Order since its founding in 1882. We look forward to continued growth in this and all areas of our insurance, fraternal and charitable operations in the months to come." The Knights of Columbus is the world's largest Catholic service organization, with more than 1.6 million members in nearly 12,000 local councils. It provides members and their families with volunteer opportunities in service to the Catholic Church, the community, families and young people. In 2001, Knights of Columbus at all levels of the organization raised and distributed a record $125 million to charitable causes and volunteered 58.9 million hours of service. In the days of Father McGivney, the insurance feature was a rudimentary system of collecting money and distributing benefits. Today it encompasses more than $31 billion of life insurance in force, with more than 1.3 million individual policies. A professional and knowledgeable agency field force numbering 1,350 brings the program to the home of every eligible Knight, tailoring a plan of life insurance coverage to meet his family's individual needs. The Knights of Columbus insurance program has provided peace of mind to millions of men and women for more than a century. The continuing growth of the number of policies and the insurance in force is a testament to the confidence members have in the Order's ability to provide protection for them today, and well into the future. The Knights of Columbus sells its insurance to its members, wives of members, and dependents. It is sold through a career sales force that currently consists of more than 1,350 full-time professionally trained field agents. These agents are equipped with one of the most modern computer programs available. It enables them to perform a needs analysis of the member and his family. This needs analysis allows the agent and the Knight to determine together the total amount of insurance protection needed, and calculate the best way to package the products to meet those needs.
