Make a Donation
We promise to use your donation wisely towards the greatest need. You may also designate your gift to a specific fund such as teachers’ salaries, education programs, Jong Gonchoe (annual debate session), housing for elder nuns, retreat centre, and more.
Sponsor a Nun
For less than $1 per day, you can provide the basic necessities to a nun. One hundred percent of sponsorship funds go directly to India to support the nuns.
Buy Products
The nuns take great pride in making products for sale through our web site as part of their income generating program. They hand make unique gifts such as nun and monk dolls, door hangings, prayer beads and bags, kataks (offering scarves), prayer flags, monk and shopping bags, cell phone holders, and more. If you are purchasing gifts for friends and family throughout the year, please consider a gift made with love by the nuns.

Company Gift Matching
If you’re interested in supporting our work and your employer provides employee matching gifts, your sponsorship contributions and donations could qualify. If so, we would be happy to help you fill out the paperwork or provide you with any information you need to summit to your company. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.
Planned Giving
Naming the Tibetan Nuns Project as a beneficiary in your will is a way to help support the next generation of Tibetan Buddhist nuns. You can make a bequest in your will, stating that either a specific asset, certain dollar amount or percentage of your estate will pass to us. For more information, please contact us.
Endowment
With the gift to an endowment fund, you have the chance to build a strong foundation for Tibetan nuns living as refugees in northern India. A gift to an endowment is a permanent gift to the Tibetan Nuns Project. The principal is invested, to grow over time, while the annual income provides a reliable source of support to achieve the mission of supporting and educating Tibetan nuns living in exile. Please email info@tnp.org to ask for an endowment packet, or call the office at 206-652-8901- we will gladly discuss all of the endowment funding options.
Host a House Party
In the past, several supporters of the Tibetan Nuns Project have asked us for ways to spread the word about the Project and raise money. To be of assistance, we have put together a “house party kit,” designed to help you throw your own fundraising event. Included is everything you need to host a successful event: instructions, introductory DVD, a sample invitation letter, questions and answers, thank you letter, sign up sheets, and more. A product table can also be a part of your party – the Tibetan Nuns Project offers freedom bracelets, calendars, and prayer flags. If you have any questions or would like to receive a house party kit, please feel free to contact us.
