When you donate to our Annual Fund, you make possible film and design projects that inform, inspire, and communicate the value of Tibet’s Buddhist tradition.

We also highlight the tremendous efforts by Tarthang Tulku’s organizations to maintain the vibrancy of this tradition, celebrating what has been accomplished and calling attention to what could still be lost.

We have succeeded in creating high-quality films, however the expenses from these major projects are high, and it is difficult to make financial returns on documentaries. 

The Annual Fund raises unrestricted funds from donors and friends of Guna Foundation to support our continued growth, including: room and board for our full-time volunteers, film distribution efforts and outreach to museums, DVD production, volunteer recruitment, and research and development of new multimedia projects.

Our non-profit organization depends on and is deeply grateful for your generosity and commitment to helping us achieve our mission: to share a vision of beauty and engagement rooted in the wisdom of Tibetan Buddhism.

Our goal for the Annual Fund Campaign is to reach $108,000 by October 2017.

Update:  New video essay, Wisdom. 

With this new short film, we invoke the transcendental impulse to discover and preserve knowledge, and explore how we can help bring this into being.

Enjoy, and please share with likeminded friends.

We believe in the power of film and art. Help us continue to give voice to this wisdom tradition. 

The Annual Fund will sustain us as we: 

-Distribute The Great Transmission to a wide audience via film festivals, museums, and public broadcast.

-Create unique screenings and private events that foster connections between our current donors and friends, and create an atmosphere of engagement.

-Create beautifully-designed educational resource materials that bring ancient history and knowledge to life.

-Begin research for our next intensive film or major multimedia project.

Guna Foundation is a small, volunteer-based non-profit film studio with 3 documentary films — Light of the Valley (2011), Prayers of the Ancient Ones (2013), and The Great Transmission (2016). Our first two films broadcast on local PBS stations, and we are currently distributing our third film, The Great Transmission. We are supported entirely through the generosity of individuals like you!
