Zendo Project Fundraising Campaign and Burning Man 2018

Thanks to an incredible outpouring of generosity from our community, the Zendo Project has raised $100,643 from 368 international donors in under 6 weeks! Your support carried our campaign beyond our initial $70,000 goal as well as our $100,000 stretch goal. Our new $130,000 stretch goal will fully fund the Zendo Project’s services, infrastructure, education, and outreach needs for the entire year of 2018. We are running low on limited edition perks for donors, so don’t miss this opportunity to donate and claim your unique perk!
