Shambhala Vision Campaign:

The Sakyong Foundation, in collaboration once again with Shambhala, offered a $100,000 challenge grant for the Shambhala Vision campaign. This campaign was part of a move towards a more integrated approach to finance and fundraising in Shambhala, and expressed support for key priorities the Sakyong highlighted for the year.

Funds raised through the Shambhala Vision campaign contributed to the following four projects:
