We’d like to offer a sincere “Thank you!” to several people who recently generously donated to the Northwest Dharma Association.

These kind donations give the association a healthy financial basis to continue contributing to the region’s dharma community. An additional step will be for new people to reach forward to volunteer, to serve on the board, to carry this organization ahead for the next generation of dharma practitioners.

Northwest Dharma Association is a grassroots, community-based, volunteer-run organization. When you support NWDA, nothing is wasted. There’s no expensive office, no padded salaries or expense accounts, no money spent on public relations or marketing. Your donation goes to maintain NWDA’s online Northwest Dharma News, the directory of Buddhist groups, and the calendar of events.

Best of all, every donation to NWDA goes to support 192 member groups and all their communities.

NWDA’s 2020 finances are reported here. Our 2021 annual report will be published on our website blog in January, and will be included in the next issue of the Northwest Dharma News.

To everyone who has donated to NWDA, our heartfelt thanks. And it’s never too late! You can always support NWDA by visiting our website and clicking the donate button. If you would to learn about more ways to support NWDA, check out our support page.
