ANUMODANA!
Rejoicing in the goodness of your generosity
The monastic life is an expression of reciprocity and mutual support, a reminder that we are all on this path together, that we are all part of one another. It is only possible in the context of a community that recognizes and values this relationship.
Your support provides the four requisites of food, clothing, lodging, and medicine
and enables the ongoing practice and sharing of the Dhamma.
For information on offering a meal, please see the Alms page.
Financial Support
Magge Vihara is entirely supported by donations. Your financial support sustains needs such as housing, transportation, health care and communications.
Check donations may be made payable to Magge Vihara and sent to 1102 Kelly Rd, Bellingham WA 98226. Please include an email or mailing address where you would like to receive your receipt.
About online donations and tipping: We use Zeffy to safely process your online donations. Zeffy provides this service at no charge and asks donors to “tip” them. The tip defaults to 17%. You can change this by selecting ‘Other’ in the dropdown and then entering any amount you wish, including $0.
Important note: Magge Vihara is incorporated in the State of Washington as a nonprofit. We are in the process of obtaining recognition of 501(c)(3) exempt status from the IRS. Tax-exempt status is generally retroactive to the date of incorporation, meaning donations made during the pending period are tax-deductible. Federal Tax Identification Number (EIN): 42-2867117
