Donations
We would appreciate your support of our temple with your generosity. Chogyesa is a 501(c) 3 nonprofit organization sustained wholly through dues and donations. When one becomes a member, one’s financial contributions support the needs of our temple, allowing us to keep this place running and serve the community as a place of spiritual sanctuary.
Donations to the Temple are tax-deductible and provide crucial financial support for our many activities and services. Please consider making a one-time donation or a pledge that is payable in automatic monthly increments.
Monthly Donations: Becoming a Member
Recurring monthly donations give us a stable basis for planning our finances. Of course, if at any time you wish to stop making payments, or to increase your monthly donation, you can do so by contacting the Chogyesa Temple Office.
One-time Donations
One-time donations are always appreciated. They are a valuable contribution to the temple.
