Financial Support

For those who are able, there are many different ways to help CIMC financially. All donations to CIMC are fully tax-deductible.

Membership
Membership is an important source of ongoing financial support. If insight meditation is of value to you, and you would like to support the Center’s work, please consider becoming a member.

Annual Gifts
Each fall, CIMC conducts a major fund drive to help meet our operating expenses. Many members (and nonmembers) make a special donation at this time or at other times during the year, such as by donating now through Network for Good Others contribute by finding sponsors and participating in our annual fundraising Sit-a-thon.

Building Fund
From time to time, we launch special efforts to raise money to help us maintain and/or improve our facilities. Donations made at other times can also be earmarked for the Building Fund.

Company-Matching Gifts
Some companies offer matching gifts for employees who donate to nonprofit organizations. Please check with your employer to see if they will match your gift to CIMC.

Planned Giving
Please consider including CIMC when reviewing your financial plan. Planned gifts can be organized through bequests, life insurance, retirement plans, and appreciated stock. If you would like more information on planned giving, please contact the office.

The CIMC Endowment Fund
The CIMC Endowment Fund exemplifies our commitment to preserving the values and goals of Cambridge Insight Meditation Center for generations to come. The endowment permits donors to create a legacy of support that will assist in underwriting current programs and help to ensure the future strength of CIMC so that it continues to prosper and maintain its prominence as a leading Western center for meditative practice. All donations are encouraged and valued as expressions of dana that will preserve CIMC and the dharma for future generations.

Funds contributed to the endowment are invested prudently, in consultation with experienced financial advisors, in instruments designed to yield additional annual income to support CIMC programs. For more information, download our endowment brochure (PDF).
