Terms of Membership
These memberships are intended for regional students only — those who live in upstate New York, Vermont, and PA/NJ areas considered local to KMC New York. If you aren’t sure whether you qualify for a membership with us. If you attend or live close to another Kadampa Center, please inquire about their membership program. If you do not live in our area, we will cancel and refund your membership. Membership benefits apply to one adult member only and are not transferable. 

Trial Basic Membership
We offer a one-month trial membership — renewal is assumed unless we hear from you. Please sign up for a basic membership and if you wish to cancel, please contact us prior to the end of the trial.

Standard & Plus Memberships
Due to the nature of these memberships, we require a three-month minimum commitment (renewal is assumed unless we hear from you). If you register for a Plus Membership to attend the Oral Instructions of Mahamudra Retreat in January-February, you are required to keep a minimum six-month membership commitment.

Payments
Once you sign-up, your membership will automatically renew each month using the credit card you registered with. Cash and checks are not accepted. 

Using Your Membership
You can use your membership to attend classes and sign up for upcoming events as soon as you register. While KMC NY is part of a global organization and we have many Kadampa Centers worldwide, your KMC NY membership only covers classes and events directly affiliated with and organized by KMC NY.

Discount Exclusion
Please note that member discount does NOT apply to the cost of meals, whether purchased individually, as part of a weekend course or on retreat.

Live Streaming
Per NKT livestream guidelines, our weekly live-streamed classes are only available to members (at any membership level) who live in upstate NY, Vermont, and in the areas in PA and NJ local to KMC New York. Currently, these classes are live-streamed: Sunday Meditation Class with Sara Wendt, Monday and Tuesday Meditation Classes with Kadam Kyle Davis, Wednesday Evening Meditation Class with Gen Samten Kelsang, and our Saturday Workshops.

Tax Deductions
Membership at KMC NY is not tax-deductible. If you would like to make a tax-deductible donation click here or email treasurer@kadampanewyork.org

Cancellations
Membership can be canceled by emailing membership@kadampanewyork.org. If you cancel your membership, you will need to wait three months before you can renew your membership. Cancellations will be effective on the next renewal after the date of your email. In the event that your membership wasn’t canceled by us in a timely manner, you will be refunded any months charged in error.
