What The Abhaya Fellowship does
Mission
To facilitate the practice of the dharma or the path of awakening in the buddhist tradition, particularly within the dudjom tersar lineage of the nyingma school of tibetan buddhism
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
The Abhaya Fellowship is a buddhist community founded by chakung jigme wangdrak in 2014. The main goal of the fellowship is to practice the dharma or the path of awakening in the buddhist tradition, particularly, the nyingma lineage of dudjom tersar. It functions as an umbrella for activities like meditations retreats, teachings and as a center for satellite sanghas or practice communities. Currently, the main teacher is chakung jigme wangdrak. He is a lineage holder as well as the descendent of dudjom lingpa. His activities are dedicated to maintain this fellowship so the precious tradition of the dudjom tersar will be kept alive and shared to many people in order to advance their spiritual development.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 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 2023 to 2024, from $698k to $1.9M (+173%).
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.
42% of THE ABHAYA FELLOWSHIP’s revenue is contributions — more earned-revenue than three-quarters of its peers (100% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
