Ways to Donate
Make a One Time Gift or Become a Monthly Donor
When you give monthly, you become a ‘Guardian of the Sacred Mountain’ and receive occasional treasures from our archive such as rare recorded dharma talks, first word on retreats and events, and occasional reflections. A recurring gift, even a modest one, provides the reliable foundation that lets us keep our offerings accessible to everyone.

The Practice of Giving and It’s Results
Sacred Mountain Sangha is a community-supported non-profit devoted to the path of awakening, collective well-being, and compassionate action in this time of profound global transformation. When you donate to Sacred Mountain Sangha, you are joining a community dedicated to the work of awakening and transformation. Donations not only allow us to offer scholarship and equity rates, keeping the teachings accessible to all, but are also essential in ensuring the organization’s ongoing operations.
Through classes, retreats, and training, we nurture ethical living and spiritual kinship, bridging inner realization and outer engagement. We believe that the Dharma should be available to everyone, regardless of their financial circumstances, and we’ve strived to ensure that no one is turned away because of lack of resources. To continue, Sacred Mountain Sangha relies on your tax-deductible donations. Every donation, no matter the size, supports us in creating a refuge rooted in harmlessness and collective liberation.
Giving is the heart of our spiritual practice, and a timeless expression of our commitment to the Dharma. Generosity is both the foundation and ultimate expression of spiritual development. In the Buddha’s own experience, after his enlightenment, he chose to dedicate his life to serving the Dharma, teaching for the benefit of all beings. Though modern life and capitalism adds complexity to the dana model, this is the path we follow at Sacred Mountain Sangha.
Since the very beginning of our journey, we’ve relied on the generosity of others. We’ve always offered our teachings, retreats, and services with this principle in mind. We believe that the Dharma should be available to everyone, regardless of their financial circumstances, and we’ve strived to ensure that no one is turned away because of lack of resources. Dana has supported us in countless ways, and it’s a principle that continues to guide us through our work.
