Founded in 1976, KCC is a Buddhist Center based in Portland Oregon, and operates a retreat center on 240 acres in a rural setting outside of Goldendale WA. KCC is committed to fostering an inclusive environment and accessible opportunities for dharma practice. This commitment and other community aspirations are captured in KCC’s recently finalized strategic plan.
With a yearly budget of about $325K, KCC has a full schedule of recurring meditation practices, and 16 special events and retreats planned for 2024. Volunteers from the community are organized into six “Service Groups.”
• SCOL (Retreat Center)
• Program Support
• Volunteer Support
• Finance and Fundraising
• Facilities
• Community Life
KCC staff coordinates with these volunteer groups to conduct the annual program of retreats and classes as well as the many opportunities each week for meditation practice and Dharma study (virtual and hybrid).
