Week 5 pushed KCC’s Sustaining Supporter campaign over the top: we met every goal! The final week of the Sustaining Supporter campaign isn’t about closing a gap. If KCC has supported your practice this year, consider making a sustaining commitment before the campaign closes.

KCC’s 50th anniversary provides an opportunity to reflect on what will sustain this dharma community for another 50 years. In 2026, our staff is one of KCC’s most precious jewels to be treasured. Will you become a Sustaining Supporter? Recurring monthly gifts provide the stable foundation we need to pay our staff fairly and ensure KCC thrives for the next 50 years.

KCC is committed to freely offering the Dharma to all. To make this possible, we practice a model of mutual support: we invite those with greater financial capacity to give a higher percentage of their income, balancing the contributions of those who can give less.
KCC’s regular meditations are open to all members of the public, and in most cases the teacher will offer basic instructions before meditation.
