Health Savings account Fund

In this HSA account plan, each resident monks have their own HSA account. Your contribution towards these accounts are tax-deductible and roll over to following years if that is not used. For these HSA account money is a great help for monks to have good health coverage. It can be used to obtain a high deductible insurance plan with low monthly payment and, can be used to cover Copay and for prescriptions.

For each year HSA account could carry max $3350 per monk and our goal is to raise $6700 for both of the monks for the year.

Please make check or cash payable to Georgia Buddhist Vihara (or just write GBV) and mentions the donation is for HSA account contribution. Your donation is equally divided between the monks.  Remember that every donation makes a difference, regardless of the amount. Click here to make a difference. Thank you in advance for your support.
