Our Story
The Knights of Christ Foundation carries forward a centuries-old commitment: that those with means and standing owe protection and provision to those without.
Who We Are
We are an ecumenical Christian organization comprised of knights and dames, dedicated to manifesting God's blessings and furthering Christian aims of charity by providing financial support, delivering goods and services, and partnering with organizations who share our goals to help those most in need.
We are knights and dames drawn from different Christian traditions. What unites us is not denomination but obligation — the conviction that faith is proven in what it does for the vulnerable.
Rather than build parallel programs, we identify organizations already serving with excellence and strengthen them: with funding, with goods and services, and with the visibility that comes from being named on our stage each year.
What Guides Us
Service & Dignity
Veterans who carried the weight of service should never carry it alone. Working locally, we direct funds, goods, and services toward organizations that meet veterans where they are — with housing assistance, essential supplies, and the practical help that restores independence.
Protection & Rescue
No child should be treated as property. We fund organizations with the training, discipline, and reach to recover trafficked children and protect those most at risk, and we do so quietly, in support of the professionals who do this work every day.
Relief & Hope
Families displaced by war and persecution need food, medicine, and a path toward resettlement. Our partners deliver that aid directly, and our support helps them reach communities that are too often overlooked.
The Gala Tradition
Each year the foundation convenes the Templar Gala — a black-tie evening of dining, presentations, auctions, and dancing. It is our principal fundraiser and the moment our partner organizations speak directly to the people funding their work.
Guests leave having met the recipients of their generosity. That directness is deliberate, and it is the reason the gala remains at the center of everything we do.
Leadership
Our directors serve as volunteers, giving their professional expertise to the foundation so that donated funds stay with the causes we support.
