Planned Giving
Plan Your Giving

In the same way that you plan a family vacation, or the purchase of a new car, you can plan your charitable giving.

Planned Gifts can be made today, so that you see the benefit of your gift, or they can be a deferred, future gift, which is committed now, but made available at some point in the future.

Now in its 7th year, our ‘Cycling for Children” bike tours have provided many children and adolescents in the developing world with the opportunity to go to school and learn. And in Canada, this event has allowed hundreds of cyclists to do what they love to do – cycle – for a worthy cause.

You can join a team, cycle individually, sponsor a cyclist, or make a donation. Visit our bike tour page for more information.

Gift Catalogue

The Chalice Gift Catalogue has been a tremendous success!

jhonatan

gift 

Thanks to your generous support, thousands of families have been helped. Each item given from loving concern had an impact far beyond the cost of the gift.

The Christmas season is fast approaching once again! Show  your loved ones how much you care about them and about needy families in the developing world!

Thank you always for your generous sacrifice of mercy.

When you purchase a gift in the name of a loved one, we will send that person a special card telling them of the gift that's on its way to someone living in poverty.

Urgency Fund

hudzik1Helping Families and Rebuilding Communities!

Donations placed in the Urgency Fund will help families and communities in two categories:

Our Critical Needs Fund supports individuals that are in need of extended medical care; for example, a child who may be in need of life-saving surgery. 

1. Gladys is a 46-year-old lady from Cochabamba, Bolivia who is struggling to care for her five children on her own. She was recently diagnosed with cancer and needs help to cover the cost of radiation treatment to shrink the tumor.

2. Danae is an eight-year-old girl from Santiago, Chile. She was struck with a high fever and was diagnosed with lymphatic leukemia.

Donate to the Critical Needs Fund Now .... 

 Our Disaster Fund will help families and communities rebuild when natural disasters such as hurricanes and floods hit or an emergency such as a fire, devastates families.  The recent typhoons and extreme weather in the Philippines and India are examples of emergencies that would qualify for disaster funding.
