10784 Fraternal Programs Report form - Faith in Action

The 10784 Fraternal Programs Report is for reporting individual programs under the Faith in Action program model.  The form allows reporting for most of the Supreme-recommended programs. The streamlined report replaces 24 individual report forms.

RECOMMENDED BEST PRACTICES:

  • Submit one report form per program.
  • When calculating service hours, remember that family members and volunteers assisting the Knights count towards your totals.
  • Reporting should be done in whole numbers only – do not report fractions of hours or spare change.
  • Instructions on submitting form 10784 available here
