Outcome of the last fundraising.
Dear Shambhala Friend,
We did it! We have now met and exceeded our goal of raising $90,000!
Meeting this 90k challenge means that Shambhala can continue to develop a culture of community care, including hiring an experienced and qualified Director of Community Care and Conduct and offering trainings that will help our community both prevent harm and respond to people who have been harmed with greater understanding, integrity, professionalism, and deep care. You can click here for a full overview of the Care and Conduct initiative.
We would again like to thank Ann Cason and Jack Bodner of Portland Shambhala Center for their very generous $90,000 gift that allowed this 90k challenge fundraiser campaign to happen.
We would also like to thank Dorje Kasung Leadership who offered a generous gift from the Dorje Kasung Endowment to support care and conduct activities.
It is important to also extend our thanks to the Shambhala Trust and European Donor Group who made significant contributions in support of the care and conduct initiative in recent weeks.
Furthermore, we would like to thank the Davis, Melbourne, Minneapolis, Open Sky Eugene, Seattle, and St John’s Newfoundland Shambhala Centres for their generous one time gifts in support of the care and conduct project.
And we would also like to thank the many Jewel Patrons who went above and beyond their annual commitment of giving $1,000 to support the centre of the mandala and made one time gifts in support of Care and Conduct work in Shambhala.
But most of all, we would like to thank all of you, dedicated and caring members of our community, who have generously offered what you can in support of this campaign and the important care and conduct work that needs to be further developed in our community. You are the reason the Shambhala community is still alive, evolving, and filled with such good heart. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all your generosity – in so many ways.
If your would like to donate to support this important work but have not yet had the chance, we invite you to do so now.
