Financial Contributions
Donations are used for the requisites of the residents and ordained sangha, New Dhamma hall fund, special events, expenses incurred while hosting monastics, monthly utilities, maintenance, and generally keeping the monastery operational.
Please note: If you are a first-time or recent donor and file taxes with the CRA, we request you kindly send us your full official name and complete postal address via email to tbmtreasurer.tisarana@gmail.
There are several ways of offering support. Here are four common approaches:
Donate by Email (Interac e-Transfer)
The Monastery can now accept donations via Interac e-Transfer. Please note this option is only available if you are sending money from a Canadian bank account. Interac e-Transfers can be sent to this email id – tbmtreasurer.tisarana@gmail.
Monthly Donations
Direct deposits can be made from your account to Tisarana’s account using EFT (Electronic Funds Transfer). This is a direct withdrawal from your bank account into the Monastery bank account. A file is sent to the bank each month with a list of donors and your specified amount and the day of the month to transfer the donation. The setup and change or cancellation of this type of donation can be accomplished simply by sending an email to the Treasurer. If you would like to set up EFT, please email the Treasurer for the form and further instructions.
You can also send a series of post-dated cheques or an occasional donation by cheque by depositing them in the monastery’s donation box.
Cheques must be made out to “Tisarana Buddhist Monastery“. Incorrectly addressed cheques will be returned by the bank.
Cheques can also be mailed to:
