This Temple is self-supporting through your donations alone, which allow the Temple to continue its programs and outreach. Any level of contribution is appreciated. We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, and contributions are tax-deductible.

  • Please support us by becoming a temple sustainer! Regular monthly donations are crucial to our Temple’s sustainability; this is an easy and thoughtful way to ensure the Temple’s stability and promote the vital work we do.  Monthly support does not have to be a big commitment—a modest amount coming from your heart is appreciated and helpful.

    • The best way to become a sustainer is through your bank’s automatic bill-pay, which can be set up in-person at your bank or through on-line banking. The information the bank needs is: Won Buddhism of NC - 8021 NC 86 Chapel Hill, North Carolina 27516. If you need help setting this up, please contact us (WontempleNC@gmail.com).

  • Checks can be made payable to Won-Buddhism of NC and can be mailed or dropped off at the temple.

The Endowment Fund

Our temple's endowment fund represents our commitment to preserving and strengthening the dharma for future generations. This permanent fund provides essential financial stability, allowing us to maintain our sacred space, support our spiritual programs, and ensure that the teachings of the Buddha remain accessible to our community for years to come.

Unlike regular donations that support immediate needs, contributions to the endowment fund are invested, with earnings used to support temple operations while the principal remains untouched and continues to grow. By contributing to this fund, you join a lasting legacy that will enable our temple to weather economic uncertainties, expand our outreach efforts, and continue offering meditation instruction, dharma talks, and community support to all who seek the path of awakening.

Your gift to the endowment fund is an investment in the perpetual flourishing of our sangha and the continued availability of Buddhist wisdom in our community. To contribute to this lasting legacy, simply designate your donation "for the endowment fund" when making your gift.
