Sustaining the RigDzin Dharma Center

Donations of financial and in-kind material support help keep the Center open and able to bring authentic Buddhist masters to our community to teach the Dharma. Every donation is met with oceans of gratitude, regardless of size, shape or form!

For all donations we can provide a tax-deductible receipt as allowed by law.

Here are two ways to help sustain us:

1) Give to our General Operations Fund: Your financial contribution will help support the Center's operating costs, which include office supplies, insurance, utilities, shrine supplies, event promotion and expenses related to visiting teachers, including travel, meals, translators, and other related costs.

RigDzin Dharma Foundation is a non-profit a 501(c)(3) corporation. Your donation is tax- deductible as allowed by law. Any donation, no matter the size, contributes to the foundation of loving kindness and wisdom we are laying for our community, now and in the future.

Click the "Donate” button above to donate online.  You can also donate by:

• Credit card by phone or in person. Call the Center at 505-401-7340 to make a credit card donation by phone or visit the Center to make a credit card donation in person.
• Mail or bank bill pay.  Please make your check out to “RigDzin Dharma Foundation” and send to 322 Washington St. SE, Albuquerque, NM 87108.  You can also arrange to have a check sent through electronic bill pay at your bank, especially if you'd like to make an on-going monthly donation.
• Center donation basket: You may drop your offering in the donation basket at the Center.

2) Donate Material Offerings: Another way to support the Center is with in-kind donations. We have an on-going need for the following items:

• Unscented tea light candles
• Dried saffron for shrine water offerings
• Environmentally friendly paper goods like hot/cold paper cups, paper towels and napkins
• Bottled water
• Office supplies—printer paper, pens, stamps, file folders
• Cleaning supplies
• Hotel or airline "points"—Hotel accommodations and airline travel for visiting Lamas can be significant expenses for us, so if you have hotel points or airline points that you would like to donate for the Lamas' use, this is a wonderful way to make an offering to them. 

You can drop off any in-kind donation at the Center during our open hours or call 505.401.7340 to make an appointment to deliver the items or schedule a pick up.
