Ashoka Grant to increase Dharma Activity around the World

Deadline: 15-Aug-23

Khyentse Foundation has launched the Ashoka Grants to identify and support organizations and individuals that are working to increase dharma activity around the world.

Khyentse Foundation Ashoka Grants are for programs and projects that fall outside the criteria for Buddhist Studies Scholarships, Individual Practice Grants, or other awards.

Khyentse Foundation offers many opportunities for individuals and organizations to apply for grants and scholarships to support their dharma studies, practice, and activities. In the nonsectarian spirit of the Khyentse lineage, they accept applications from Buddhist teachers, students, scholars, translators, practitioners, and retreatants, following all traditions, and from all parts of the world. Each application is reviewed by an international committee appointed by Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche.
