What if your impact could last forever?
Through planned giving, you can ensure that children living in poverty in Guatemala have access to education, mentorship, and opportunity for generations to come. By including Creating Opportunities for Guatemalans in your estate plans, you help build a future filled with hope — long beyond your lifetime.
What Is Planned Giving?
Planned giving is a meaningful way to support our mission through a future gift. These gifts are arranged now and fulfilled later, often as part of your overall financial or estate plans.
Ways to make a planned gift include:
Including Creating Opportunities for Guatemalans in your will or trust
Naming our organization as a beneficiary of a retirement account
Donating a life insurance policy
Giving appreciated assets such as stocks
Establishing a scholarship fund through your estate
Planned gifts can be flexible, confidential, and tailored to reflect your personal values and legacy.
Why It Matters
Education changes lives. It breaks cycles of poverty and opens doors that once seemed impossible.
A planned gift helps:
Sustain scholarships for students long-term
Expand programs to reach more communities in Guatemala
Provide stability and continuity for future generations
Ensure that no child loses access to education due to financial hardship
