Leave a legacy of Wisdom and Compassion.

Create a Lasting Legacy of Wisdom and Compassion

For many of us, Kwan Um Zen Online's teachings and community have brought peace, clarity, and connection to our lives. One of the most meaningful ways to ensure these teachings continue for future generations is by including Kwan Um Zen Online in your will or estate plan.

A simple sentence in your will, such as:

“I give [specific amount or percentage] to Kwan Um Zen Online, a non-profit organization, to support its mission and teaching of Zen practice worldwide.”

Can make a lasting difference. Your bequest helps preserve a living tradition of wisdom, compassion, and community that benefits practitioners worldwide.

A Thoughtful Way to Give and Receive

Your generosity can continue to support the Dharma and the Kwan Um Zen Online community through a charitable trust.

This type of gift allows you to provide for yourself or your loved ones during your lifetime, while also making a lasting contribution to the ongoing teaching of Zen.

A charitable remainder trust, for example, provides income for you or your family, and the remainder supports Kwan Um Zen Online after the trust term ends. It’s a way to align your financial and spiritual values — caring for yourself and others simultaneously.

If you want to learn more about how a charitable trust could benefit you, we would be happy to provide information or connect you with a trusted advisor familiar with such gifts.

A Simple Step Toward a Lasting Gift

Naming Kwan Um Zen Online as a beneficiary of your retirement plan (such as an IRA, 401(k), or similar account) is an easy and impactful way to make a difference — often without changing your will.

You can designate a portion or all of your retirement assets to Kwan Um Zen Online.

This type of gift also reduces tax burdens on your heirs while ensuring the continuation of the teachings and community that mean so much to you.

To make this gift, simply request a beneficiary designation form from your plan administrator and list:

Kwan Um Zen Online, a non-profit organization

28 Old Stagecoach Rd.
Bedford, MA 01730
USA
