Fundraising Network & Helpdesk
We can help you fundraise
Raising funds from your own community is the most sustainable way to support your work. We’re here to help, whether you have a quick question or need more in-depth support.
Thanks to funding from the European Chairs Assembly (ECA), we offer a fundraising network, training, and an ongoing helpdesk to Triratna Centres.
Support we offer
Thanks to funding from the ECA (April- February 2027), we’re able to offer a range of support to Triratna Buddhist Centres:
- Access to practical fundraising resources and materials
- A Fundraising Network with training and peer support
- A helpdesk for quick fundraising questions
- Consultations offering a short review, practical suggestions, and follow-up support
Support for the project has been offered by Kusalaraja who was working for Future Dharma. Since October support is being offered from Lilasuri, freelance trainer and experienced fundraiser.
