What Dzokden does
Mission
The specific purposes for which this corporation is organized are religious ones, to wit: Dzokden is dedicated to spreading and teaching Kalachakra emphasizing the Tibetan Vajrayana Buddhist Jonang lineage, and consistent with the teachings, techniques and methods of Khentrul Jamphel Lodro (Jia Luo Show.)
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.

Promotion of Kalachakra Tantra Buddhism under the Jonang tradition through activities which includes, but is not limited to, providing religious instruction and places for community development and practice, special events for both new and established students, translation of sacred texts and spreading Tibetan Buddhism worldwide.
$264,578 spent100% of program spending
The program described on its FY2024 Form 990. Program spending in total: $264,578.
The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2021, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2021, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2022 to 2023, from $374k to $582k (+56%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
40% of Dzokden’s revenue is contributions — more earned-revenue than three-quarters of its peers (100% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 of the last 5 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
Grant support over time, funder by funder — shade shows the grant size each year.
1 of 2 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 0% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of Dzokden’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.

Where its funders are
100% of Dzokden's grant income comes from California funders.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $19 arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been.
