25% of the study center's income comes from voluntary contributions!

Your donations buy books for the library, allow us to host a wide array of teachers and programs, provide meals for the students, publish the Insight Journal, and so much more. Your gifts also help us to give scholarships to students who want to take courses here, print high qualility dharma books and distribute them to prisoners and students for free, and sustain the endowment, which helps us keep course fees low.

All donations are tax-deductable. A letter acknowledging receipt of donations in excess of $250 will be provided for your tax purposes. BCBS is a 501(c)(3) non-profit, educational organization.
