Let’s Raise the Roof Together!
A Campaign to Replace Our Sangha House Roof
For years, the Sangha House has given us a home–for silence, for retreat, for learning, and for community.
Now we have the opportunity to invest in its longevity.
Our roof has reached the end of its life (with three layers of shingles to prove it).
Replacing it now is a straightforward, proactive step to protect this space we all rely on.
Why Now
Sangha means community, and this space is the heart of ours
We’ve been supported by years of extraordinary generosity
This is our biggest shared investment—ever
Taking care of this place = taking care of our practice
It takes all of us to Raise a Roof!
Raise the Roof—the Spirit of Generosity
Our community runs on dāna—the practice of generosity.
This is an important moment that allows us to see clearly the returns of our practice.
We all benefit from this space.
Now we all have a chance to support it.
We invite you to join us in a collective act of generosity + gratitude.
Our Goal
$15,000 to replace the roof, including contingencies.
We have a generous $5,000 in matching funds available to double your impact!
Campaign timeframe: April 15–June 30.
Pledges for fulfillment after June 30 are also welcome. Please use the below Pledge Form download for all pledges.
