Support Karmê Chöling with a One-time or Recurring Donation

Support Karmê Chöling

From the beginning, Karmê Chöling has been built, staffed, cared for, and sustained by a dedicated sangha with a shared wish to study and practice together and to create a powerful container for practice that is available to all.

We remain a community-supported organization. The generosity of our sangha, friends, and guests helps us care for this beautiful and aging facility, tend the gardens and land, support practitioners who need financial assistance, and ensure that Karmê Chöling remains strong and sustainable for future generations.

We welcome both one-time and recurring donations. Every gift helps us continue to care for this place and make the experience of practice here possible.

Current Giving Opportunities

In addition to our General Fund, we are currently raising funds for several important areas:

Stupa Project
We are working to fulfill the long-held vision of transforming the Purkhang into a Kudung Stupa for the Vidyadhara Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche.

Scholarships
Scholarship donations help make programs and retreats accessible to practitioners who would otherwise be unable to attend.

Retreat Cabins
Donations to the retreat cabins support the care, improvement, and continued availability of these spaces for individual retreat.

When you click Donate below, you will be taken to our giving page, where you can choose the fund you would like to support:

Workplace Matching:

If your company has a matching gift program, you may be able to increase the value of your gift. Please contract the Development Coordinator for details.


Canadian Donors:

Due to a Canadian tax law change, beginning July 1, 2019, Canadian donors will no longer be eligible for a Canadian tax deduction when donating to any U.S. Shambhala entity.

You may still make an unrestricted donation to Karmê Chöling at any time – it will help us greatly!


Bequests:

Planned giving is sometimes referred to as gift planning or legacy giving. It is a way to support non-profits that enable you as a philanthropic donor to make larger gifts than you could make from ordinary income. Learn more about Bequests.
