What does it mean to be a member of MZMC?
If you find that you are meditating and attending programs at MZMC regularly, we encourage you to consider becoming a member of the sangha (community). Membership is a way to formally recognize that you are part of this community, and to affirm your support for it. If you appreciate the difference that MZMC has made in your life, please join us, and help us to maintain this supportive place of contemplation.
Members sustain the Center with a yearly financial contribution, and many also give time and energy by working in a volunteer capacity. As a member, you will have voting rights at our annual community meeting. You are also eligible to participate in the mentorship program.

How do I determine my annual pledge amount?
There is no set membership rate at MZMC. Each member determines a pledge amount based on his or her personal financial situation. When deciding how much to pledge, we often ask our members to consider donating 2% of their annual income (about one hour's pay per week). Of course, everyone's personal circumstances are different, so this is offered only as a guideline. Give what feels comfortable and right for you. We are most grateful for your support!
Thank you for considering becoming a member of MZMC; we appreciate your pledge of support, look forward to getting to know you, and welcome you to the Minnesota Zen Meditation Center community!
