“Every morning I get up and I pray for all sentient beings…humans, animals, even birds -- they all need happiness.”
-- Grandmother Tsering Dolma Gyaltong, Tibetan
Affinity Organizations
From the beginning, it’s been about relationships. We have built the Council and grown our community, one relationship at a time. We have been blessed by support from many wonderful organizations and philanthropists.
When we work with like-hearted individuals and groups, it’s like adding to our family in the world. We support each others’ activities: together we are stronger.
Over the years, we have been steadfastly supported by organizations that share our vision of a peaceful world in which all beings are interconnected. We call these allies "affinity organizations". You can get involved by supporting these organizations, who are in close relationship to the Grandmothers' mission.
