GRN Guardians
Become part of the GRN Family. Become a GRN Digital Guardian.
GRN Guardians are not "donors." They are members of a family who propel global evangelization through GRN Digital. This name reflects a shared identity rooted in mission, belonging, and faith. Guardians don’t simply give. They stand with us in bringing the Gospel to the world and see themselves as part of the mission, not a transaction.
As Our Lady of Guadalupe brought Christ to millions, we ask for her intercession as we continue that work today: bringing Christ to countless souls through Guadalupe Radio Network and our growing digital mission!
“For it is in giving that we receive.” St Francis of Assisi
Thank you for considering a gift to Guadalupe Radio Network. If you are interested in supporting through these or other giving methods such as planned gifts or in-kind goods and services, please contact us to discuss additional opportunities.
What should concern us as Christians is that in giving there are deep reasons, the ones that touch our very souls.
From a spiritual standpoint, you give because of your relationship with God. Giving is an act of faith equal to prayer and fasting. Historically, men and women have made offerings to God in recognition of their dependence on Him and in gratitude for the gifts given them. Everything we have comes from God. We are God’s stewards, accountable for the ways in which we use the time, the talents and the material goods God has given us.
Jesus commanded us to care for our brothers and sisters in need – to “love your neighbor as you love yourself.” Throughout the Gospel, Jesus speaks of His concerns for the poor and the oppressed. God wants those of us who possess the riches of this life to share them with those who are less fortunate. Jesus individually speaks to us when He says, “What you do for these, the least of My brethren, you do for Me.”

Giving of your TALENT means using the gifts and abilities that God has blessed you with to benefit the Church and those around you.
Giving of your TREASURE means sharing your financial resources to strengthen the Church and its mission to transform lives through the power of faith.

A bequest is one of the easiest ways to make a gift to charity.
It is generally a revocable gift, which means it can be changed or modified at any time during your lifetime. You can choose to designate that a bequest be used for a general or specific purpose so you have the peace of mind knowing that your gift will be used as intended. Bequests are exempt from federal estate taxes to the recipient. If you have a taxable estate, the estate tax charitable deduction may offset or eliminate estate taxes, resulting in a larger inheritance for your heirs.
There are a number of ways you can make a bequest for the benefit of the Guadalupe Radio Network:
Specific Bequest
A specific bequest involves making a gift of a specific asset such as real estate, a car, other property or a gift for a specific dollar amount.
Percentage Bequest
Another kind of specific bequest involves leaving a specific percentage of your overall estate to charity.
Residual Bequest
A residual bequest is made from the balance of an estate after the will or trust has given away each of the specific bequests. A common residual bequest involves leaving a percentage of the residue of the estate to charity.
Contingent Bequest
A contingent bequest is made to charity only if the purpose of the primary bequest cannot be met. For example, you could leave specific property, such as a vacation home, to a relative, but the bequest language could provide that if the relative is not alive at the time of your death, the vacation home will go to charity.
