Thank you for considering a donation to Karma Changchub Ling.

Our charity is supported by donations from our various donors in Canada, the US and beyond. Additional income is generated by the various groups that use the Mahasangha space, fees for courses and programs, and contributions from our community members in residence. Donations, however, remain our main source of income.

There are various ways you can support KCCL’s activities:

  • A general (unrestricted) donation to cover expenses related with the ongoing activities of the center. This can be a one-time contribution or a recurring donation throughout the year.
  • A donation to one of the KCCL Funds (restricted donation), see more info below.
  • A donation in the form of stocks and other securities. Anyone wishing to make a donation of appreciated shares can contact us at kccl.finances@gmail.com.
  • A legacy gift by including KCCL in your estate planning.

Planned Giving

Including KCCL in your will or living trust is an excellent way to create a wisdom legacy for the next generation. Making a legacy gift is easy, and you don’t need to be wealthy to do so, simply include a gift to KCCL in your will.

Alternatively, to provide support for KCCL outside of a will or other estate planning document is to name KCCL as the beneficiary on any asset—bank account, brokerage account, stocks, mutual fund, retirement account, or life insurance.

Please note that KCCL’s legal name for inclusion in legal documents is Changchub Buddhist Church.

KCCL’s specific funds:

  • Monastic Support Fund – A fund for monastics in residence who have no external means of support. Click the option “Monastic Support Fund” under the heading “Restricted Donations”.
  • Mortgage Payment – The KCCL mortgage will have to be renegotiated in 2025. At that time there will still be $ 745K to be paid off. With current day high interest rates we aim to make a sizeable reduction in the remaining mortgage in the spring of 2025. Click the option “Mortgage Payment” under the heading “Restricted Donations”. Any amount is welcome!

All donations given for a specific fund will be used only for that fund’s activities.
