Support Saranaloka Foundation

The Saranaloka Foundation relies solely on dana ('generosity') for its ability to offer support to the nuns when they are in the United States. Expenses for the vihara include rent, utilities, insurances, etc. in addition to airfare and other travel expense, all of which are covered by generous donations to Saranaloka.

We gratefully accept donations of money, as well as offers to assist with travel or lodging for the nuns; even the offering of a meal. Please contact us if you are interested in offering any of these kinds of support.

For donations of other small items needed at the vihara, please see our regularly updated Dana List.

If you would like to make a monetary donation, it is easy to do so in one of three ways:

1) PayPal you do not need to have a PayPal account in order to use this option. This option is good for a one-time donation. (read more)
