Philanthropy
The Honorable Order of Kentucky Colonels
The Kentucky Colonels provide our members opportunities to continue their philanthropic efforts.
Commissioned Colonels can connect with other Colonels, and extend the Kentucky Colonels’ circles of influence in the Commonwealth and around the world.
The Good Works Program
While our members are indeed generous, most lead busy lives and have essentially delegated the allocation of their charitable dollars to the Kentucky Colonels.
Each grant application is reviewed and vetted by the Kentucky Colonels’ Board of Trustees. Trustees invest countless unpaid hours to ensure member donations find the most needy and deserving recipient… and impact the most people.
In the event of a large scale incident around the globe, such as a natural disaster, the Kentucky Colonels will rally the ranks with a call for emergency donations.
Please review our 2025 Good Works Program Guidelines for more information.
