Qualified Charitable Distributions
Multiply your charitable impact and qualify by contributing to Cristosal through your IRA. If you are 70.5 or older, you can give up to $100,000 per year from your IRA. If you are subject to a Required Minimum Distribution (RMD), an IRA gift can help you meet your RMD while lowering your taxable income.
Legacy Giving
Invest in a better future: Your legacy commitment to promoting human rights and dignity in Honduras, Guatemala, and El Salvador provides a light of hope and a real difference for families who have been overlooked for too long.
We share a video from one of our Cristosal board members, Beth McFadyen, as she reflects with us on her and her husband’s recent decision to include Legacy Giving in their will.
Thank you Beth and Jay for your service, generosity, and commitment to Cristosal!
