Zen Fields is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, and your generosity is what makes our practice, our teaching, and our outreach possible. Below you'll find what your donation supports, how to give in the way that works best for you, and a closer look at the Haitian Student Gift Fund — a way for your generosity to reach even beyond our own sangha.

Your contribution helps sustain spiritual practice, charitable giving to those in need, and both spiritual and secular education for the wider Iowa community. As Zen Fields puts it: material gifts and the gift of Dharma inter-are — the material world does not exist without the spiritual, and the spiritual does not exist without the material. Every gift, in whatever form, keeps that balance alive.
Your generosity helps sustain Zen Fields: our practice, our teaching, and the ways we support the wider community. Volunteering your time is always another way to contribute as well.
Please donate through Zeffy using the button below. You can make a one-time gift or set up a recurring donation on a monthly basis.
No donations are required, but any amount is genuinely appreciated — there's no minimum, and no amount is too small.If you regularly attend specific sessions, and would like to simply leave an offering for that day, here’s a suggestion based on typical giving from others.

Each year, members of our sangha give gifts toward school fees and living expenses for promising Haitian students pursuing higher education. Read how past gifts have made a difference, and how you can be part of it.
