About Knights of Columbus - Council 1498 (St. Mark)
St. Mark Council 1498 is a local council of the international Knights of Columbus, founded in 2004 and based at St. Mark Catholic Church in Highlands Ranch, Colorado. The council describes its work as focused on family, spirituality and charity and runs regular parish and community programs including food drives, Lenten fish fries, youth activities and parish support.
Recent council activity includes large community food collections (a record-setting Food for Families drive in August 2024), ongoing support for the St. Elizabeth food pantry, regular pancake and social breakfasts, and youth programs such as free-throw/basketball challenges and other family events.
Note on tax status: this EIN (26-0092629) corresponds to Knights of Columbus Council 1498, a local fraternal council. Local Knights councils are typically organized as fraternal beneficiary organizations rather than as 501(c)(3) public charities; I did not find evidence that this EIN is classified as a 501(c)(3) charitable organization.
