The latest updates from the KCC community.

As part of KCC’s ongoing work to sustain our community for the long term, the Board and Staff did a deep dive into our financial health in 2025. This effort supports one of the goals in our Strategic Plan—to create a holistic financial model that sustains our staff and preserves our facilities for future dharma practitioners.
