Practicing Dana at RIM

We invite everyone who participates at RIM to practice generosity (Dana). For many within our culture, Dana can be a challenging practice. Many ask for advice on how to practice financial dana at a center like RIM.

Consider the following points when practicing financial Dana:

• All programs are offered freely. You are not obligated to donate to any program. Your participation, practice, and friendship are already a radical act of generosity.
• RIM is 100% community funded and is entirely dependent on donations. Donations pay for all operating costs, contribute to teacher livelihood, and maintain its building.
• When giving financial support, consider your needs and the needs of others.
• Give what feels right for yourself and the community who RIM supports.
• For a reference, most people give $5-$20 per session. People typically give between $840-$160 for a 6-week course like this.
• Consider becoming a monthly benefactor with a recurring donation; determine your donation by reflecting on the above considerations and RIM's value for yourself and others.
