Retreat and Dharma Event Financial Policies

Retreat and Dharma Event Financial Policies

Approved by Finance Committee February 2007


Retreats came to Finance with several questions—they all involve money, so they fall within Finance’s purview.  The following policies apply to both Retreats & Dharma Events:

Policy:  When Retreats or Dharma Events Committee receives a special request (eg. : a retreatant needs 24-hour help from an assistant. Should both pay full price?), the committee should make a recommendation to Finance and request a decision on a case-by-case basis.

Policy:  “Paid Volunteer” includes those who are receiving room and board in order to be able to volunteer full-time for at least three months, even if they are not receiving a stipend.

Policy:  A Paid Volunteer is eligible for a 50% discount on KCC retreats and events.

Policy:  Rent-paying residents and paid volunteers at the urban and rural centers receive free access to retreats and events taking place where they live.
