BCA Launches Three Initiatives

Webpage, Survey, Donation Platform Are Now Available

We are a community built on connection, collaboration and care. Everything we do — every resource we share, every dollar donated and every voice that speaks up — is made stronger when we do it together. 

The Dharma Forward campaign shows that when we put our mind to it, this community can do it. We’ve completed the campaign above our goal, reaching $16.6 million. We made a touching video about it. Please watch it at buddhistchurchesofamerica/dharma-forward.  You can also keep up with how Dharma Forward dollars are impacting the BCA community on this page.

Thank you to everyone that made it happen!  And we’re excited to introduce three new initiatives that, as a whole, reflect our shared commitment to building something better for everyone.

A New Home for Resources: Our Webpage Is Live

Finding the support you need just got a whole lot easier. We've launched a new webpage (buddhistchurchesofamerica/benefits), designed to be your central hub for all the resources that BCA offers. 

Whether you're looking for programs to connect with community, grow your knowledge of Buddhism or to grow the future, it's all in one place — organized, accessible and built with you in mind.

Gone are the days of searching through emails or asking around. Our new resource page puts the power in your hands, so you can spend less time looking and more time doing. We encourage everyone to bookmark and share it.

This page belongs to all of us  — and the more we use it, the more we can grow it. Think of it as our shared foundation, ready to expand as our community's needs evolve.

Your Voice Matters: Fill Out the Survey

We believe the best decisions are made when everyone has a seat at the table. That's why we're asking each of you to take a few minutes to complete our post-Dharma Forward survey.

Your responses will help us understand what worked and where we should focus our energy moving forward. This is your opportunity to let us know!  

The survey is quick, straightforward and entirely anonymous. By filling it out, you're not just sharing feedback — you're helping us streamline our efforts so that we can serve you and those around you more effectively in the future. The more voices we hear, the smarter and more inclusive our planning becomes.

Please don't wait — complete the survey today and encourage others to do the same.

Giving Made Simple: We've Moved to a New Donation Platform

Our generosity as a community has always been one of our greatest strengths. To honor that spirit and make giving even easier, we've transitioned to a new donation platform, Bloomerang — and we need you to sign up as soon as possible.

This new platform offers a more user-friendly experience for everyone. It allows us to better manage contributions, send timely updates and ensure that every dollar goes exactly where it's intended. But here's the key: if you're not signed up, you may miss important information, updates and opportunities to give at the moments that matter most.

We highly encourage you to register for the new platform right away. Don't risk missing out — setting up your account takes only a few minutes, and it ensures you stay connected to the causes and campaigns you care about.

One Community, One Direction

Individually, each of these three initiatives makes a difference. But together, they represent something bigger: a shared commitment to showing up, speaking up and lifting each other up.

Our new resource webpage gives us the tools. Our survey gives us the direction. Our new donation platform gives us the means. And all of it — every click, every answer, every contribution — is powered by the most important ingredient of all: you.

So let's do this together. Explore the webpage. Fill out the survey. Sign up for the new donation platform.  And let's keep building something worth being a part of — side by side.
