There is a tradition in Buddhist practice of offering Dana—the Sanskrit term for donation, generosity and appreciation.

While we list a standard membership of $30/month to insure we can meet our operating expenses, and there are suggested donations listed for events, we welcome donations both less and more than the suggested amounts.

We appreciate that people have different life circumstances and welcome anyone, regardless of ability to pay. We also gratefully accept contributions above the suggested amounts for event, general fund (membership), and capital fund donations from those who are able.

Your online payment will be processed through PayPal, which accepts Visa, MC, Amex and Discover. You will be directed to a page that gives you the option of signing into your PayPal account, creating a new account, or processing your payment without a PayPal account.

It is not necessary to have a PayPal account to proceed with any of the options—you can pay via credit card without signing into PayPal.

Membership (operating fund) and Capital Fund donations can be either one-time contributions or recurring monthly contributions.

Another option is to complete an online pledge form and pay with cash or check. You may put your payment in the Donations box at the CZC or mail to: Cincinnati Zen Center, P.O. Box 14841, Cincinnati, OH 45205.
