CIMC Membership

Membership contributions provide a vital source of financial support for all aspects of the Center including teachers and staff, programming, the upkeep of our building and scholarships. Your decision to become a CIMC Member is a gift of generosity and kindness. Membership offers the opportunity to join and support a community and a Center dedicated to the practice of Insight Meditation.

Though our programs are available to members and non-members alike, CIMC could not continue to exist without the vital support of our Members. If Insight Meditation is of value to you, please consider becoming a CIMC Member to help sustain the Center as a refuge for the Dharma in the midst of urban life.

You may become a CIMC Member at any time during the year and your membership will become active on the day of your donation. Our membership year runs from January 1 to December 31.
