Funding a CPO Trust

Your contribution to sustainable funding in perpetuity for the protection of Vaisnava children will have a positive affect over the course of their entire lives, as well as the lives of those they touch.

Our success in preventing and responding to concerns of child abuse relies on the generosity of individuals such as yourself.

Our goal is to be self-sustaining in our service of protecting children within the ISKCON community. An endowment of $5,000,000 will sustain the Child Protection Office long-term and provide continuous staffing through any ups and downs in monthly donations.

Your contribution to this independent 501(c)(3) non-profit is tax deductible.

Relish the sweetness of serving the devotees. Together we can secure the future of Srila Prabhupada and Lord Chaitanya’s movement by safeguarding its most valuable and vulnerable asset – the children.
