Alongside Michigan Jurisdiction’s ASAP100 efforts (all active councils participate in the ASAP program), the Supreme Council has announced a new council incentive.

Below is the message from Robert Ennis, Supreme Council VP of Membership Growth and John Moulder, VP of Fraternal Operations with details of this incentive.

"When it comes to supporting vulnerable mothers and their children, both born and unborn, the Knights of Columbus will never waver! And the more we grow the Order, the more life-saving support we can provide.

  That’s why we’re launching the Join ASAP Council Incentive!

Councils that recruit 3 members between February 1 and March 31 AND donate at least $500 through the ASAP program any time during the 2025-26 fraternal year will receive an additional $250 for the pregnancy resource center or maternity home they supported. 

The top 10 councils recruiting the most members will also receive an additional $750 for the pregnancy resource center or maternity home, bringing the total incentive to $1,000 for those winners!

Full details on the incentive can be found at  Join ASAP – Council Incentive_v2 or see the attachment.

This incentive gives you a unique opportunity to expand your charitable impact by recruiting new members.

Let’s put our faith into action and extend the hand of brotherhood by encouraging Catholic men to Join ASAP!"
