The center is run entirely by volunteers and with donations from people like you. We offer all Dharma teachings and center services on a dana basis; dana is a Sanskrit word meaning generosity. That means all Dharma teachings and services are free. And we humbly offer you the opportunity to practice generosity by helping to make the Buddha's teachings available in our community.
So if you're able, please make a donation! Suggested donations for specific classes and events can be found on the descriptions pages for each. But please, give what you're comfortable with.
If you'd like to contribute but are unable to make a financial donation, please don't worry — no one will ever be turned away for financial reasons! And there are many other ways you can help support the teachings, such as by becoming a volunteer.
