Your donations support meditators that otherwise wouldn’t be able to attend a silent retreat. That means your gift is what made the difference to get someone on a cushion and get the job done.
Our scholarship recipients come from a wide variety of meditation backgrounds, ethnicities, orientations, and nationalities. We prioritize scholarships for students with the greatest financial need, so your gift goes where it’s needed most.
You can donate any amount by sending a Zelle payment to opendharmafoundation@gmail.com. Zelle does not charge fees for sending money, and is the most cost efficient way to donate to the ODF. Donations through Zelle are tax deductible.
