For donations and fund transfers we append our PayPal button (for both general and specific purposes), along with our bank account information. Bank transfers need to be accompanied by an e-mail (e-mail form letter link) with direct and complete information for us: your name, e-mail address, bank from which the transfer was sent, amount and purpose (if it is a targeted donation) since the banks in Nepal only give us the date and amount of any transfers.

We have five levels of suggested funding with corresponding tangible benefits:

$3,000.US dollars or equivalent currency. This level brings with it your choice of any one of our courses being offered in any one summer, together with accommodation here at IBA during that course.

(The registration process still has to be followed, but no payment is required.) This benefit is transferrable.

The SIX PERFECTIONS level:

$6,000.US dollars or equivalent currency. This level brings with it a whole summer of IBA's course offerings, including Tibetan classes, and accommodation here at IBA. The registration process still needs to be followed, minus any payment. This benefit is transferrable.

The ELEVEN BHUMIS level:

$11,000.US dollars or equivalent currency.

The SIXTEEN ARHATS level:

$16,000.US dollars or equivalent currency.
           
The PROTECTOR TARA level:

$21,000.US dollars or equivalent currency.

These last three levels are meant for the funding of capital costs, such as the construction of the second floor of our library, of staff quarters for full-time volunteer staff, and for solar power equipment, so that we can implement our long-term strategy for reducing our non-renewable power consumption.

Upon your request we will send you information on umbrella organizations in Canada and the United States through which you can make your donation to us, and thereby receive a tax benefit.

Those who donate at the Eleven Bhumis, Sixteen Arhats, and Protector Tara levels will be invited to celebrate Losar with us here at IBA, as our guests, or to accompany our group of teachers and scholars to the Sakya Mon Lam prayer festival, as part of the IBA family!
