Gaia's Temple Designated Funds
Individuals and organizations may give charitable donations to Gaia’s Temple’s designated funds: Minister’s Advancement, Youth Program, Community Outreach, and Music. Donations to designated funds are tax-deductible.
If any earmarked funds are left over at the end of the fiscal year or at the end of a specific project, those funds may be placed into the Gaia’s Temple general fund.
