Financial Assistance
At Vajrapani, financial circumstances should never keep someone from practicing the Dharma. At the same time, retreat fees support the teachers, staff, and facilities that make these programs possible, so we strive to balance generosity with sustainability.
Payment Plans
Can’t pay all at once? We’re happy to set up a payment plan.
A $150 deposit holds your space, and the remaining balance can be paid in installments before the retreat begins.
Contact office@vajrapani.org to arrange a payment plan.
Financial Aid
Financial aid is available for those who might otherwise be unable to attend.
Each retreat has different costs and financial considerations, so we review requests individually. The amount of assistance available depends in part on the retreat’s registration and financial needs.
We simply ask:
- What can you realistically afford?
- What support would make attendance possible?
No tax returns or income documentation are required. We trust applicants to request the assistance they genuinely need.
Financial aid may include:
- Reduced retreat fees
- Reduced accommodation fees
- Partial scholarships
- Other case-by-case arrangements
To help limited resources support as many people as possible, financial aid recipients are typically housed in dormitory accommodations or camping spaces.
How to Request Aid
Email office@vajrapani.org with a brief description of your situation and the support that would make attendance possible.
Since the amount of aid available may depend on reaching minimum registration for a retreat, we encourage you to reach out as early as possible — but requests are welcome at any time.
Ordained Sangha
Ordained monastics are warmly welcomed at Vajrapani.
Special accommodations and financial assistance may be available depending on the retreat and available resources. Please contact the office to discuss arrangements.
