Bhakti Studio is possible thanks to people like you!
Our sliding-scale membership ensures that everyone in the community can be part of the Bhakti Studio community. You can choose a membership level that fits your lifestyle and budget. We offer discounted “Community Memberships,” made possible by contributions from our “Supporter Memberships.”
Your generous support is what keeps Bhakti Studio vital, growing in service, and able to translate our vision into reality. Donations large and small help us to support not only our current programs but lay a groundwork and foundation for us to grow and flourish and reach many more in our community.
If you have ever been inspired or empowered by Bhakti Studio, please support our community with your financial giving. Whether you can give $10 or $100,000, know that every gift is a major gift! If you regularly benefit from our teachings and community, please become a supporter and sustainer of our community through your Intentional Gift.
Intentional Giving is the fundamental building block of our budget. Your contribution makes it possible for us to continue providing accessible transformational experiences and teaching to those who otherwise may not have access.
When you commit to giving, you enter into a relationship with our community and its offerings. You determine an amount of money that you will contribute to Bhakti Studio throughout the year and fill out an Intentional Giving Form.

You have the option of choosing Auto-Give, which provides the convenience of making a recurring contribution automatically. Click below to give a one-time contribution or schedule a recurring contribution today by choosing weekly, every 2 weeks, monthly or yearly.
Sustaining donors provides Bhakti Studio with a dependable base of revenue used to sustain our community and help us strategically plan for our future. As a sustainer, your contribution is ongoing until you say otherwise, giving you complete control. Most importantly, sustaining donors have the satisfaction of knowing they are always actively doing their part to keep Bhakti Studio thriving.
When you make your Intentional Giving Commitment or Scheduled Contribution you can become one of our Sustaining Donors. Simply select the option to have your payments ongoing until you contact Bhakti Studio to cancel it.
Tithing connects us to Divine and our Spiritual Community. It also invites us to bring that same giving spirit and deeper sense of connection to our work and our relationship with money.
A tithe is not viewed as a gift, but rather as a portion of our income left with Source in acknowledgment of the good we have already received and shall continue to receive in the future. Much as a farmer would return a certain percentage of his crop to the soil as seed to guarantee a future harvest, a tithe is a percentage of our abundance given automatically to that place where we feel closest to the Source. Tithing connects us to the divine and reminds us that It is the true source of our good.
Tithe literally means “a tenth,” but most people start with a smaller percentage – one that they are comfortable with – and work their way up as they enjoy results. Tithing is not for everybody; it is intended for those with a desire to learn to live by faith. For them, tithing is always a life-changing experience.
Spiritual growth is a function of our willingness to make a commitment. Tithing is a tool used successfully by many to learn the power of commitment. Used correctly, tithing is a discipline that helps us develop a giving consciousness and a firm trust in the Source.
People often look for guidance on how much to give. While Spiritual Giving is part of your personal relationship with Source, you may find the chart below a useful tool to see how much you would give monthly to meet your desired percentage giving goal based on your annual income.

Since 1965, Bhakti culture has been changing lives for the better and making the world a better place through our education and community building activities. You are the catalyst for positive change and we ask, “If your life has been changed by these teachings, why not create the same opportunity for future generations?” A will is perhaps the most important document you can have. It is critical to making sure your wishes are carried out exactly as you desire and could help the program secure a brighter future for spiritual life of generations to come.
When you name the Bhakti Studio in your will, you become part of a much bigger impact on creating a better world through spiritual education and community building. Your gift doesn’t have to be large to make a difference – no matter how big or small, there are plenty of ways you can contribute. You can designate your contributions in support of current programs and services or our new scholarship fund, where your gift provides ongoing income derived from investments to help us support our current community and reach others who crave a spiritual connection.
Bhakti Studio Operating Fund
Your contribution to the Bhakti Studio Operating Fund supports the expansion and up leveling of a broad range of spiritual and life-enriching programs, so our Center can become even more purpose-driven, expand current program and services, become a world class spiritual education institution, turn vision into reality, and better serve our membership, our community, and the world.
There are many ways Bhakti Studio can be included in our estate planning, including bequests in your will, beneficial designation, and qualified retirement plans.
