Kurukulla Center's mission is to help others through offering pure Buddhist teachings and activities in a setting which nurtures participants' spiritual growth and development. The Center is a self-sustaining, non-profit organization and as such, relies entirely on donations and membership support for our existence.
We are very fortunate to have had a permanent home for Kurukulla Center in Medford since June 2001. Our monthly operating expenses range between $8,000 - 9,000 for items such as mortgage, insurance, utilities, resident teacher support and administrative expenses.
Sustaining memberships, or monthly giving, provide Kurukulla Center with regular and dependable income, allowing us to budget and plan more effectively to provide the greatest benefit.
Kurukulla Center is a tax exempt not-for-profit corporation under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. All of your contributions are tax-deductible to the fullest extent allowed by law. Also, please check with your employer to see if they have a matching gift program so that your contribution can be matched.
By becoming a sustaining member, you help Kurukulla Center provide a home for our resident teacher, Geshe Ngawang Tenley, and a place for all those interested in learning and practicing the dharma to find a community. Sustaining memberships can be paid monthly by check, credit card, or direct debit from your bank account. In addition, we offer the following additional benefits as an expression of gratitude for your generosity and support.
Online credit card transactions are processed by PayPal - safe, secure and easy.
