Christos Day of Giving - Oct. 14, 2026
We invite you to bless the future of Christos by making a financial donation to support Christos Day of Giving.
Thank you for pouring out your blessings on Christos. We could not do our work without you!
Every gift, of every size, is meaningful.
Our goal for Christos Day of Giving 2026 is $30,000 in donations, to activate a $10,000 match from a group of generous donors. Plus, we are hoping to gain 50 new donors!
There are several ways to give:
We also welcome gifts from Donor Advised Funds (DAF), or from a Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) from qualified retirement plans. If you wish to give this way, please contact Christos Executive Director Heidi Lender directly, at heidi@christoscenter.org.
How your financial gifts are put to work
Your financial gifts help us support people who treasure how they are transformed through Christos’s people and programs. Program fees and tuition cover only a part of our expenses, so your additional financial support is critical to us.
We serve many people in active ministry whose congregations have limited resources for continuing spiritual development. Christos also serves people in mid-life and beyond, many on fixed incomes, who are revisiting their life goalsand following God’s call. Scholarships provided by Christos continue to be in high demand, and we turn no one away.
New programs introduced in the past few years, such as Ignatian Retreat, the Beyond the Basics alumni program as well as the What’s Next Path to Purpose program would not be possible without your financial gifts.
We recently introducing new “Pay As You Can” pricing on many Christos events such as retreats, workshops and book clubs, allowing more people to access our programs at a price they can afford. Your gifts bridge the financial gaps to make these events happen.
Financial gifts also support our technology and marketing efforts; our alumni programs; ongoing operations and maintenance on our main retreat facility in Lino Lakes, MN.
Your impact: nurturing people as they connect more deeply with God
“Tending the Holy provided the structure in my life to affirm and help me continue in the path of a more contemplative spiritual life during a season of a lot of personal life headwinds that naturally pull on me to get stuck in a survival state. It was a grace to me as I navigated my year.”
