Become a Pledging Member
Become a Pledging Member
The invitation to become a Pledging Member provides each of us an opportunity to examine the value of Zen practice in our life, and to practice dana, or generosity. Pledges make up a significant portion of the support that keeps the doors at Ashland Zen Center open.
When we feel that you are a member of the sangha we can become a 'pledging member.' This is a committment to a monthly donation which is renewed annually. The donation is an expression of gratitude and will naturally be an amount that an individual can responsibly commit to.
Pledging members receive a discount on retreat and sesshin fees, may check books out of the Zen Center library, and may use the Zen Center Ceramics Studio.
All donations are fully tax-deductible. Questions about pledging can be directed to a teacher or to the president of the AZC Board of Directors.
Click here to set up a monthly or annual pledge through PayPal. We can also individually set up autopay through our bank or pay by cash or check each month. Our pledging membership to Ashland Zen Center is tax-deductible.
