This relief is by way of non-returnable grants. It also may, at the Trustees discretion, make grants in order to further the Catholic religion and support priests or seminarians in need. Requests for assistance in respect of members of the KSC are usually validated by the Welfare Committee of the Knights of St. Columba, before being forwarded to the Trustees for consideration, under case numbers to protect the identity of the applicant. The Trustees also consider, in the same way, any applications for funds to off-set the membership subscriptions of KSC members who are financially unable to pay..
