Year-end contributions & new on-line donation system

SIM’s NEW ON-LINE DONATION SYSTEM WILL BE OPERATIONAL NEXT WEEK – FOR NOW, WE NEED TO RELY ON SNAIL MAIL!

We are disappointed to report that SIM’s new on-line donation system will not be operational until the middle of next week. Until then, we need to rely on USPS “snail mail.” Once the system is operational, you will receive notification via this email.

If you are in a position to make a year-end contribution, please make out a check to “SIM” and date it before the end of the year. By mail, send to:

  • Sacramento Insight Meditation Sacramento Dharma Center  3111 Wissemann Drive Sacramento, California, 96826

Or, you may bring the check (dated no later than December 31) to the first Thursday evening sitting of 2017, on January 5, 2017.

The SIM Board of Directors encourages you to sign up for our new Monthly Contribution Program when the new on-line donation system goes live during the middle of next week. The Monthly Contribution Program is designed to cover our fixed, recurring operational expenses. You’ll be able to go to SIM’s home page at sactoinsight.org, where you  will see the “Donate” button in the lower right hand corner.  A click on that button will take you to our new donation page.

The Monthly Contribution Program will not cover dana for our presenters. The Dana program for Thursday evenings and One Day presenters—a dana bowl for contributions by cash or check— will remain the same.

We would like to provide new practice programs and opportunities; to identify and cultivate new presenters; and to subsidize our scholarship fund and work exchange opportunities. Without the generosity of all our members, however, we will be unable to  meet our current anticipated deficit for 2017 of $17,000, or to develop new programming.

Thank you for your generosity. We hope you and your family have a safe and happy holidays.
