“Friends of Clear Mountain” is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization created to steward funds donated to build and sustain Clear Mountain, an aspiring Buddhist Forest monastery in the greater Seattle area. As the monastic community (the ‘Sangha’) are prohibited by their vows from using or having legal control over money, Friends of Clear Mountain receives and holds monetary donations given to support Clear Mountain Monastery—paying bills and providing necessary requisites for the monastics. In consultation with the monastics, we ensure that financial transactions are carried out legally and fairly.

We welcome inquiries from the community about the organization, our finances, the requisites for the monastics, and the role of stewards.

Email dana@friendsofclearmountain.org with any inquiries. Sadhu!
