Here’s where your gifts went this quarter.
Between January and March, the sangha gave $23,877.01 in general support. We spent $22,377.19 keeping the doors open, and set aside $1,499.82 toward our future goals.
- Rent & Utilities52%
- Operations35%
- Center Care13%
Mostly the lease on our meditation hall, plus utilities, internet, insurance, and other ongoing costs.
The administrative activities of the center: outreach, bookkeeping, credit card processing fees, and small stipends for the officers who keep it all in order.
Receiving people warmly: facilities maintenance, accommodations for visiting teachers, food for shared meals, and the supplies a working office quietly needs.
“The mind of the giver is gladdened before the giving, made peaceful in the act of giving, and uplifted after having given.”
The Buddha · Aṅguttara Nikāya 6.37
Every dollar beyond our operating costs is held in reserve for the sangha's long-term health.
