Abbeya Foundation Donation

Becoming a Member of the Abbeya Sangha

If you’ve found meditation practice to be impactful in your life and would like to continue attending events from Abbeya Foundation, we encourage you to become a member of the community (sangha). Membership is a formal way to recognize your participation in the sangha and to affirm support for our mission. If you appreciate the transformation Abbeya Foundation has made in your life, please join us in helping to maintain this space for meditation practice.

How do I become a member?

The best way to become a member is to donate online. You may set up an automatic bank transfer from your checking or savings account or use a debit/credit card. Contributions can be made monthly or annually. We encourage members to consider paying with an automatic bank transfer as this maximizes your contribution by eliminating credit card fees.

If you prefer to not use the online option, please send your contact information and membership contribution to 13661 Power Dam Rd. NE, Bemidji, MN, 56601.

How do I determine my annual pledge amount?

There is no set membership rate through Abbeya Foundation. Pledge amounts are determined by each member based on their personal financial situation. When deciding how much to consider donating, we kindly ask our members to consider donating 2% of their annual income (about 1 hour’s pay per week). However, this is only a guideline and not a requirement. Due to individual circumstances, anyone wishing to be a contributing member can donate any given amount whether it is more or less than what is suggested.

How do I make a change to my membership?

When you set up a membership online, there is an option to create a profile. This allows you to manage your contributions and view your donation history. Your contribution will continue monthly or annually depending on which one you chose until you change your transaction. If you have questions or need assistance, please contact: [email protected]
