Many Opportunities to Donate

There are many ways to make tax-deductible donations to Kagyu Thubten Chöling. Explore your options by following the links below. All of these avenues of donation are linked by a "donation cart". This allows you to add up as many donations as you want and then pay for them all at once using PayPal. Note: We do not require you to have a PayPal account in order to use the cart. Just use a major credit card instead.

If you would prefer KTC to directly charge your credit card for either a one-time or an on-going monthly donation, download the Printable Credit Card Form and either mail it to us or fax it to 845-297-5761.
