Be Part of our Legacy for Generations to Come
At the heart of Drala Mountain Center are supporters like you. Your generosity sustains not only meditation retreats and spiritual practice, but also the daily operations—preserving the land, maintaining our facilities, and fostering staff well-being—so that thousands of practitioners can experience the dharma with confidence and care.
Every gift directly supports our sacred land, our teachers, and our diverse community who turn to us for wisdom and renewal, ensuring that the dharma and contemplative practices are offered with the deepest integrity.
The Drala Circle
When you make a one-time donation or become a member of the Drala Circle, you join a community dedicated to sustaining this sacred land.
Here’s how your support makes a difference:
Providing scholarships to those who would benefit most from time at Drala Mountain Center, including veterans, first responders, cancer patients, BIPOC, LBBTQIA+ community, and underserved populations.
Restoring our roads, native gardens and trails for accessibility that all individuals can enjoy.
Rebuilding a Main Shrine Pavilion to host major teachers and retreats.
Improving our outdoor dining spaces for up to 350 land participants.
The Drala Legacy Circle
For those of you who are deeply connected to our DMC mission and values, we invite you to become part of the Drala Legacy Circle—a community of friends and benefactors who have included charitable contributions in their estate plan, will, or other forms of planned giving. As a thank you for your generosity and, and in appreciation of all our donors support, we have created a short guide to maximizing your tax benefits from your gift.
Making a bequest in your will or trust is a powerful way to leave a lasting legacy. Your planned gift sustains our mission, protects our sacred land, and carries the Dharma forward into the future.
