Support BMZC
Beginner’s Mind Zen Center is supported and sustained by donations from our members and friends… people like you!
While no one is turned away for lack of funds at BMZC, donations of any amount help maintain the zendo, zafus, zabutons, incense, website hosting, Zoom membership, and other miscellaneous expenses that allow the sangha to maintain our practice and community. BMZC is a 501(c)(3) organization. Your donations are tax-deductible. |
