Support the Dana Program for Buddhist Education

The Dana Program was introduced six years ago as an important way to help provide the financial resources to make the Buddha-dharma available to everyone.


Last year, your generous donations contributed to a growing base of support that has raised nearly $850,000 since 2015 and which has gone toward BCA’s annual operating expenditures in support of Buddhist education.


Approximately $94,400 from last year’s Dana Program was part of the 2022 BCA budget passed at this year’s National Council meeting. The Dana Program contributions were the fourth largest revenue contributor to the budget at 3.4 percent of a total budget of $2.65 million. Those dollars support annual operating expenditures, including the allocation to the Institute of Buddhist Studies (IBS) and programs and payroll of the Center of Buddhist Education (CBE).


The COVID-19 pandemic has shown us that now, more than ever, we must focus on technology and digital media to guide new seekers to Shin Buddhist communities, connect members to innovative virtual programming, and highlight the inspirational messages of our ministers. Dana Program supports these annual operating expenses that will allow Shin Buddhist teachings to reach a wider audience.


We ask that you continue to support building upon our vision for the public, our temples and our ministers to walk the Nembutsu path together.


It’s simple: The more we grow, the more we can support our programs each year. Together, we can accomplish great things, one step at a time.


Our annual letter to request support for the Dana Program will be mailed to your home shortly. While we are grateful to receive donations by mail,


our office access remains limited because of the pandemic. We kindly encourage you to set up a one-time or recurring donation today at:

I support all programs that are aimed at the development of education with both hands. I agree that the world needs educated people, and therefore I try to study well. I am the best student in my course, but I could do with improving my writing skills. Luckily, I often use the ghost writer website Thanks to these professional writers, I always get high marks. I realized that this company offers only first-class paper. These authors create relevant content to high quality standards. They even provide a plagiarism or grammar report upon request. I have seen it firsthand. And yet, I'd like to do my own writing assignments.

If you're considering using careersbooster, you might be wondering whether or not this service is worth the price. There are plenty of positive careersbooster.com reviews, and their team of expert writers is well-qualified to write your resume. The writers are skilled in grammatical and content writing, and they use ATS-optimized keywords to make your document stand out amongst the hundreds of others submitted. But, despite the high price, many people complain about the quality of their work, so a careful comparison is required before using their services.
