Monthly Membership brochure.

Every time you give to Ganden Center, you are creating the cause for the people of this area to increase their inner peace — including your own.

Where Your Monthly Giving Goes

Your monthly gift supports some of the following:

  • General operating costs – this includes our Center rent, venue rental, travel to different class locations, utilities, publicity, and Center vehicle upkeep
  • Teacher care – this includes sending our Resident Teacher to the International Teacher Training Program, as well as our Teacher’s living expenses
  • Public outreach programs – such as Dharma classes in state correctional facilities

What You Get in Return

Not only does becoming a Monthly Member benefit the Center, it also benefits you.  Besides the peace of mind that comes from knowing that you’re giving to an organization that supports the development of peace in this world, you also get discounts on our classes and events when you commit to being a monthly member.

* Any amount given over and above that which would normally be paid for classes ($40 per month for GP students and $50 per month for FP students) qualifies for a tax deduction.  Therefore, an FP student giving $75 per month would for a year accumulate $25 × 12 = $300 that would be tax-deductible.  For anyone who gives but does not attend Ganden Center, 100% of your donation is tax-deductible!
