Support Chicago KTC

Monthly membership and one-time gifts keep our doors open and our teachings available to all.

A Community-Funded Dharma Center

Chicago KTC is a community-funded Dharma center that relies on the support of our members and friends in order to remain a vibrant home for the Dharma in the Chicagoland area. It exists because of the generosity of those who came before us and current supporters. Monthly membership dues and one-time donations directly maintain our building, fund visiting teacher expenses, and ensure our center remains available for all future people who are seeking to learn the Dharma. One-time donations of any size or recurring amounts are all welcome. Chicago KTC is a 501(c)(3) organization and all donations are tax deductible.
