Our mission is supported in large part by the generosity of donors like you!
Through general donations supporting areas of greatest need, donations to one-time or ongoing projects, or investing in our future through contributions to endowment funds, you can help support Buddhist education in America now and into the future.
How to Give
Click here to make a donation of any amount online. You’ll have the option to make it a monthly donation, one of the most impactful ways to support IBS’s mission.
You can donate online for specific projects, such as the Haste Street dorm renovation or professorial chairs. You can also download this donation coupon and mail it to our offices with a check.
Please contact us with any questions about making a major gift. And consider IBS in your estate planning or as part of your retirement fund’s minimum required distribution.
Institutional Endowments
Through multiple campaigns, the American Jōdo Shinshū community has supported the establishment of numerous endowments held by the BCA Endowment Foundation (BCAEF) for the benefit of IBS’s programs. Most of these endowments support professorial chairs; others are in support of scholarship funds or general operations.
Contact us today for more information on how to support these endowment funds, or make a donation to benefit IBS directly to BCAEF.
Thank you and Gassho!
