HOW YOU CAN SUPPORT
OUR WORK
BODHI's administrative
work is almost entirely self-funded by its board of directors. Projects
require money. Please, we need support with our work. Financial help
is the most useful, but we also need help with administration and publicity,
including help on the internet. If you know of people who may be interested
in supporting our work, please pass this message on or ask them to contact
us.
In the US, BODHI
is a 501c3 organization. This means that all contributions from US tax
payers are tax deductible.
In Australia
donations for BODHI are not currently tax deductible.
BODHI has published
a four-page biennial newsletter since 1991. Some back copies are available.
We ask for a nominal $20 per annum subscription for the newsletter.
We also have a number of beautiful 50cm x 58cm colour portraits of our
patron, His Holiness the Dalai Lama. This image of the Dalai Lama was
taken by international art photographer, John Taylor and designed by
Kuang Chang, a New York graphic designer and artist. Both donated their
time and skills to help BODHI's work. We are happy to send you one of
these portrait-posters for a minimum of $20. Donations of $100 or more
automatically receive a portrait-poster.
