Support Maitripa College’s Annual Fundraising Campaign
As Maitripa College enters its twentieth year, we pause with deep gratitude for two decades of education, service, and meditation inspired by His Holiness the Dalai Lama, Yangsi Rinpoche, and the FPMT lineage of Lama Yeshe and Lama Zopa Rinpoche. From our first classes in Portland to the vibrant community we are today, Maitripa has become a place where the light of wisdom and compassion shines in the world, through our students, alumni, faculty, and friends.
We invite you to be part of the next chapter of this story. A gift to our General Fund goes wherever it is needed most, sustaining our faculty and staff, supporting our students, and keeping the doors of the Dharma open to our community. Your generosity strengthens every program at Maitripa College and helps keep the light of wisdom alive for generations to come.

Scholarship Fund
Open the Door to Transformative Education
Maitripa College already keeps tuition to roughly a third of what other graduate schools charge, because we believe genuine dharma education should never be out of reach. Even so, many of our students need additional support to walk the way of genuine spiritual and academic development.

Library Fund
Sustaining the James A. Blumenthal Library
At the heart of Maitripa College is the James A. Blumenthal Library, home to the texts, translations, and study materials that support our students, faculty, and wider community in the study and practice of the Dharma. As our programs and community continue to grow, so does the need for updated resources, digital access, and expanded materials for the students who will study here in years to come.
