The Buddhist Chaplaincy Support Group was founded with the generosity of seed funding from The Buddhist Society and the work of many individuals. However, future financial needs of the project will need to be raised through donations, grants, bequests and fundraising events.
This will allow Kalyana Mitra to expand and grow in it's outreach activities. There is a great need for training opportunities to be developed, workshops and gatherings of the Sangha to found this work on a solid basis and continue the development of Buddhist chaplaincy work as a service to the many communities we serve.
