DONATIONS

We launched this website on March 31. Our projected fundraising aim was $100,000 USD to purchase a large quantity of FDA approved surgical masks. However, by the morning of April 1st our donations had exceeded our goal. We are very grateful for the enthusiasm. We will target the first and second tier states that are most affected by the coronavirus according to the CDC website, and reach out to as many hospitals as we can that accept surgical masks. We encourage you to continue your support!

Tallahassee Chan Center (501c NPO), on behalf of Dharma Drum Retreat Center, will serve as the acting mediator of this Dharma Relief Project to accept donations. 100% of your donation will be used to purchase and ship the masks. We have already vetted a manufacturer in mainland China whose products are approved by the FDA.

We have people on the ground in China to secure quality control. As of April 1st each mask was $.55, including shipping, but the costs of the masks and the shipping rate is rising daily. Each recipient institution will receive at least one box of 2,000 masks. We will distribute to as many different hospitals in North America as possible.

We have reached our goal, and are now distributing the masks amongst various hospitals across North America. To see our progress, please scroll down below for pictures.
