SRF has established a Boston Meditation Group Building Account at Mother Center. All donations to this account will be treated confidentially. Whether you make donations directly to SRF for this project, or to the Boston Meditation Group, your donations are held in the tax-deductible Boston Building Fund that SRF established to purchase a permanent center in Boston. When you send a donation to BMG, we will forward it to the account and send you a donation acknowledgement. If you donate directly to SRF, please use the SRF Monetary Gift Form which specifies the account. For any single donation of $250 or more, SRF will send you an acknowledgement. Keep these acknowledgements and your cancelled check or credit card receipts with your tax records.
If sufficient funds come in to make a purchase, SRF must approve of the acquisition and the timing of the acquisition; if not, the funds will remain in the Boston Building Fund. If insufficient funds come in, SRF will decline to make the purchase for that reason. The Boston Building Fund is established through Fall 2011. If a property is not acquired by that time, SRF will consider extending the term of the fund or re-allocating the funds to another area of SRF's work.
Make your check out to Self-Realization Fellowship (not Boston Meditation Group). On the memo line write "Boston Med. Group Building Account". Mail it to: Treasurer, Boston Meditation Group, 751 Main Street, Waltham, MA 02451. We will forward your donation to SRF. If you prefer to mail your donation directly to SRF, please include the account number (#7BOS24105) on your check. For every donation you make, specify Boston Med. Group Building Account.
A monthly donation through debit of your checking account can be arranged by mailing this form to SRF. For further assistance please call Gene Blake (617-510-8048 or geneblake@comcast.net).
Call SRF (323-225-2471), ask for Membership Services and tell them you’d like to make an electronic donation to the Boston Meditation Group Building Account, and give them the number for the account (7BOS24105).
SRF will convert these and deposit to the Building Account at your direction. Call SRF (323-225-2471) and ask for Membership Services for assistance with this transaction.
Some companies match donations made by their employees to non-profit organizations. Your company may request information on SRF’s non-profit status. Call SRF at 323-225-2471 and ask for Membership Services to help you with this.
Any donation you make directly to SRF for the Boston Building Fund will be anonymous. This includes all donation types noted above. SRF does not provide the Boston Meditation Group with a list of donors to the Boston Building Fund.
Please help us track progress toward our fundraising goal. Whether you send your donations to the Boston Meditation Group or directly to SRF, please fill out a pledge card. Pledge cards are available online or in the foyer of the Waltham center. You can mail pledge cards to: Treasurer, Boston Meditation Group, 751 Main Street, Waltham, MA 02451.
