Thank you very much for your interest in and support of Kurukulla Center.

As the year comes to an end, we are asking you to remember Kurukulla Center in your gift-giving. We are 100% committed to offer all of our Buddhist teachings without charge, but we cannot do so without your help. We do not have an endowment, nor do we have a single benefactor that funds our activities. Rather it is your kind support through membership and annual donations that allow us to invite everyone to enter our doors regardless of what they are able to offer.

By contributing to our year-end appeal and membership drive you help us cover our many operating costs. These are some of our ongoing expenses that your donation funds:

• Utilities - heating, electricity, water, garbage, cable, phone
• Insurance - health & liability
• Food for the Sangha
• Stipends for the Sangha
• Translator fees
• Bookkeeper fees
• Fee for financial audit
• Office supplies
• Snow plowing
• Paper supplies
• Cleaner fees
• Cleaning supplies
• Supplies for tea station

On their own they all seem small, but they add up quickly! And this list does not include our mortgage, building maintenance, or the numerous projects we are working on, such as providing security for the stupa or updating and upgrading the ever growing technological needs of the Center. Please, offer what you can. Just as our numerous small bills add up every month, every offering helps.

With love,

  Debra Thornburg
