WELCOME!

Gifts to Cristo Rey Jesuit High School help make the dream of a college preparatory education a reality for students from low-income families in Baltimore City.

Cristo Rey Jesuit offers a path to success for our students and hope for the future of Baltimore. Five days per month, our students work in the offices of our corporate partners, helping to finance their education while acquiring real-world preparation for their future careers.

We invite you to join this powerful endeavor by making a gift. With your help, our school will have a transformative effect in the lives of our students, our neighborhood, and our city. 

CURRENT HIGHLIGHTS:  

Philanthropy in the News

- Charity Navigator is an online resource for individuals interested in philanthropic giving. The site offers donor tips, top ten lists, charity ratings, and interesting studies and articles on current events. This list focuses on the characteristics of savvy donors. It is a great read for anyone interested in charitable giving.

-In current bear market conditions financial planners are increasingly recommending charitable lead trusts as a giving option for donors. “What makes them especially attractive now is an historically low special rate that the Internal Revenue Service uses to predict how much your assets will grow in the trust. Estate-planning lawyers call it the ‘hurdle’ rate because investment gains beyond it can generally pass to heirs tax-free. The rate, which is adjusted monthly, remains locked in for the length of the trust.” Read "Giving Smarter While Helping Your Estate" in the Wall Street Journal for more information, and visit our new webpage on planned giving.
