Today is BIG DAY OF GIVING – from midnight to 11:59 p.m. on May 2!

SIM is participating in the Big Day of Giving on May 2. If you plan on giving this day, consider donating to SIM. We have a generous donor who has pledged to match all donations up to $1000. This giving campaign is a continuation of SIM’s efforts to make the Legacy Teacher Project sustainable and to carry SIM’s mission well into the future. We hope you will think of SIM on the Big Day of Giving!


What is Big Day of Giving?
Big Day of Giving is a once-annual 24-hour giving challenge to help local nonprofits raise funds to make a difference in the Sacramento region. It’s the culmination of an entire year’s worth of community-building and collaboration led by the Sacramento Region Community Foundation, with support from community partners like Western Health Advantage, and made possible by people like you!


How can I help?
GIVE: You can donate to SIM by visiting www.bigdayofgiving.org on Thursday, May 2, and making a gift with a credit or debit card.

  • Donations as little as $10 make a big difference
  • Your gifts can help us win some of the prizes that are up for grabs!
  • Help us reach our $1000 match from an anonymous donor; every donation will be doubled until the match has been completely met!

It can be hard to maintain an open-hearted balance in a world where we have access to immense suffering in every corner of the globe. We may be closed down into paralysis or panic. And yet our practice calls us to engage the suffering, the world’s and our own, with compassion. How can we withstand and even thrive as the “worldly winds” blow around us?  The quality of Equanimity can be the refuge we seek. We will explore Equanimity (upekkha in Pali) as one of the Paramis, as well as its place in the Brahmaviharas and the Seven Factors of Awakening.
